A visit to the Gendarmenmarkt is an excursion into the history of Berlin. On one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, dating from the 17th century, there are three monumental architectural highlights that define the image of the square. The German Cathedral and the French Cathedral, both dating from the year of their completion in 1785, and the concert hall designed by the famous architect Karl-Friedrich Schinkel, which was built under his direction in 1821. In the dome of the French Cathedral, at a height of 40 metres, there is a viewing platform with a magnificent view of the city.
