Berlin's largest church combines Italian Renaissance and Baroque Revival architecture with its massive green dome dominating Museum Island. The imperial staircase, Sauer organ with 7,000 pipes, and Hohenzollern crypt containing 94 sarcophagi make this more palace than parish church. Climb 270 steps to the dome walkway for panoramic city views.
Free organ concerts happen Saturdays at 3pm -arrive early as seating fills quickly for the impressive Sauer organ performances.
