Built in 1753 and designed by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, the French Church stands as an important architectural heritage monument in Brandenburg. It was constructed for the French Reformed community that sought refuge in Prussia after the Edict of Potsdam in 1685. Following World War II, it remains the oldest surviving church in Potsdam's historic core.
