Description
Built as late as 1905, this cathedral originally served as the private chapel for the Prussian royal family. Designed by Julius Raschdorff in the Italian renaissance style popular at the time, its impressive dome is strikingly similar to St Peter's in Rome. Inside, it boasts a stunning altar and royal box designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Almost completely destroyed in the Second World War, the Berliner Dom remained a ruin until restoration work finally began in 1973. The crypt is of particular interest, housing the graves of over 90 members of the Hohenzollern royal family. Admission EUR2.50.
