The Französischer Dom was built between 1780 and 1785 wall to wall next to the Französische Friedrichstadtkirche (French Church of Friedrichstadt). Both buildings are often collectively referred to as the Französischer Dom. The sanctuary was designed by the architect Cayartas a haven for the Huguenots, French Protestants seeking refuge in Berlin. The building continues to serve the congregation and is regularly used for worship, organ meditations, various concerts, lectures, exhibits and events.
