BASILICA ST HEDWIG

BERLIN

GERMANY

The cathedral of the archdiocese of Berlin. Built in the baroque style in 1887 and renovated in a modernist way after the allied bombing in World War II.

"Would you oppose the will of God? Our lives are His.”

- St Hedwig of Silesia

Two visions of the same church. A baroque one from the outside, a modern one in the inside. I was surprised by the silence and intimacy of the two-storey interior during my Berlin visit.
