St. Elisabeth church

Phantom of a church

Invalidenstraße 3
Berlin, Berlin 10115
+49 (0)30 25 0025 (Tourist Information)

Constructed in the 1800s by Berlin's most influential architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, all that remained after the 1940s of Elisabethkirche was the church's skeleton. Wind whistled through the window frames, plaster peeling off the brick walls. Since its destruction in World War II, nobody seemed too interested in restoring the neoclassical masterpiece — presumably due to lack of funds. However, in 2003, a restoration was completed on the façades of the east and west vestries, making for a more attractive set of ruins. The church also hosts art exhibits; call for details.
