The irregular facility and the confines of the square cause Karl Friedrich Schinkel to adapt the new building of the Friedrichswerder church of this urban situation and to carry them out in 1824-31 in “medieval style” as a neo-Gothic brick building. A single -nave nave, which covers a flat gable roof, joins the double tower facade oriented to the south. The door of the main portal is wearing medallions with iron casting reliefs by Friedrich Tieck (Schinkelmuseum since 1987).
