First baroque church
The first church in the baroque style in Berlin. The city was heavily bombed by the Allies during the Second World War, which explains why there are not many old buildings, like Rome or Paris. This church is just off Klosterstrasse subway. Below, visit the Nikolai neighborhood. The church was designed by JA Parochialkirche Nering. Construction began in the late seventeenth century and lasted 20 years. The Bell Tower, which King Frederick Wilhelm equipped with 37 bells, survived the bombing.
