Lonely Planet review

Berlin's most graceful square was named after the Gens d'Armes, a Prussian regiment consisting of French Huguenot immigrants. Local Huguenots worshipped at the Französischer Dom (French Cathedral), where a small museum now chronicles their story. The cathedral closely mirrors the Deutscher Dom (German Cathedral) opposite, home to a hopelessly academic political exhibit. In the middle is Schinkel's beautiful Konzerthaus .
