The French Friedrichsstadt Church, also known as the Huguenot Church, is a baroque masterpiece designed by Abraham Quesnay in the early 18th century. Situated on the historic Gendarmenmarkt, it is closely linked to the French Cathedral, added nearly a century later. Today, it serves as a place of worship for the French Church of Berlin and the French-speaking Protestant community.
