Guided Story
Take a moment to admire the chapel's Gothic Revival architecture, brought to life by Reinhold Persius in 1881. Gifted by Kaiser Wilhelm I and Prince Carl of Prussia, this chapel is a significant part of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin and stands as a protected heritage monument in Brandenburg. Imagine the silence that enveloped it during the years from 1979 to the early 1990s when it was unused due to its location at the border zone. Inside, you'll find an organ that echoes its Protestant roots. This chapel is not just a building; it's a quiet yet powerful testament to the community it serves within the church district of Potsdam.
