Berlischky-Pavillon, Former French Reformed church in Schwedt/Oder, Germany.
The Berlischky-Pavillon is an oval building with a copper roof along Lindenallee in Schwedt. The footprint measures roughly 15 by 11 meters and now hosts an event space for concerts, weddings, and community gatherings.
The building was constructed from 1777 based on designs by Georg Wilhelm Berlischky for the French Reformed community. It served as a church until 1976 before later being transformed into a venue for events.
The interior was fitted out in Rococo style between 1777 and 1785, with classical elements added. A foundation plaque above the entrance names the patron, Margrave Friedrich Heinrich. Services in the pavilion are still held on the main holidays, and the building now serves civil weddings, music-school concerts and Uckermärkische Bühnen performances.
The building is located at Lindenallee 28 and is easy to reach on foot with plenty of space around it. Visitors should check ahead about scheduled events, as it primarily functions for special occasions.
The margraves' coffins stayed in the church vault until the early 1990s, when they were moved to Berlin Cathedral. The building also served the congregation of the war-damaged St. Catherine's church until 1951, and services in French Reformed tradition are still held here on major holidays.
