View from southwest to the façade towards Werderscher Markt The Friedrichswerder Church (German: Friedrichswerdersche Kirche) was the first Neo-Gothic church built in Berlin, Germany.

The building is currently part of the Berlin State Museums ensemble, holding the Berlin National Gallery's collection of nineteenth-century German sculpture, showing works of Johann Gottfried Schadow, Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Christian Daniel Rauch among others.
