A Guide to the Berlin Cathedral: Things to See and Do
Structures of Significance
I am quite fond of castles, grand churches, and other similar buildings.
These structures are often the most resilient to the passage of time, and there is always so much history within them. Not only can we explore, but we can also, for a moment, walk through history and marvel at the artifacts and stories of ages long past.
The best part, of course, is when we imagine how life and adventures could have been in such distant times.
The Berlin Cathedral, located on Museum Island, is one of the most recognizable sites in Berlin. When I first arrived in Berlin, I had no plans whatsoever. I simply saw the dome in the distance and said, “Ohhh shit. Look at that thing. Let’s start there!” Definitely a good start.
In this short guide, I’ll show you the great things to see and do when visiting the Berlin Cathedral.

Berlin Cathedral’s Story
The Berlin Cathedral’s history dates back to 1454, and it was reconstructed several times throughout the ages. The current cathedral was completed in 1905, and it is Berlin’s largest Protestant church.
An Architectural Masterpiece
The interior of this massive Evangelical cathedral is striking, leaving one in awe of its unique architectural design and sheer vastness.
The cathedral features a rich history, numerous elaborate exhibits, ornate displays, and a crypt, among others.
As a bonus, there is an observation deck that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Berlin’s skyline.
There is also a cafe (toward the exit).
As one of the most interesting and unique landmarks in the city, the Berlin Cathedral is a historic, fun, and riveting attraction. Of course, the photos provided here are but a small sample of all the wonderful things within. I highly recommend that you visit this place and enjoy it for yourself.
