St. Hedwig's Cathedral is a prominent Roman Catholic cathedral located in Berlin, Germany. It serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Berlin and is dedicated to Saint Hedwig of Silesia. The cathedral was commissioned by King Frederick II of Prussia and was completed in 1773, making it the first Roman Catholic church built in Berlin after the Reformation. The neoclassical design of the cathedral was inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, featuring a distinctive circular structure and a large dome. St. Hedwig's Cathedral has undergone several restorations, especially after being severely damaged during World War II.
