Französische Friedrichstadtkirche, Baroque church at Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin, Germany.

The Französische Friedrichstadtkirche features a prominent dome, white facade, and stands next to the Konzerthaus on Gendarmenmarkt square in central Berlin.

The church construction began in 1701 for Huguenot refugees from France, with the decorative tower added in 1785 under Friedrich II's commission.

The interior maintains Protestant traditions with minimal decorations except for the organ, reflecting the Reformed Church principles of simplicity and functionality.

Visitors can reach the observation platform by climbing 284 steps, offering views of Gendarmenmarkt, with regular services held on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:00.

The carillon consists of 60 brass bells, making it the second largest bell system in Berlin, regularly performing musical concerts throughout the year.
