The little French Church at the eastern edge of the Bassinplatz square is reminiscent of the Pantheon in Rome and captivates the viewer with its elliptical form. Two allegorical figures from the sculptor Friedrich Christian Glume stand at the column-adorned portal: Caritas (love, charity) and Spes (hope). The interior design of the church goes back to Schinkel. The parish has once again been able to enjoy the sound of the Grüneberg organ, whose restoration was completed at the end of 2002. The church was built in 1752-53 for the French Reform parish of Potsdam, following plans from Knobelsdorff. It is practically the only building from the former French Quarter which survived World War II.
