Berliner Dom
It’s a complex story to describe this Dom, first as a Catholic church, then turned into a Protestant one in the early 20th century , was burned and heavily damaged during the war, today , it stands there as a more tourist point . Miki told me it’s her first time of visiting an European church , then I of course have the responsibilities to explain her the great story of the ‘ war’ between Catholic and Protestant, and telling her she needs to visit Notre-Dame de Paris , the Duono in Milano, the Chartre which dated back to thousands of years ago , the oldest church in Europe… As an fans of Architecture , I of course did a research of different churches in Europe , the best masterpiece to visit, from Gothic , Baroque, Classic , Neoclassic, Rococo …till Art Nouveaux , I moved from Asia to Europe , to see the art only J From the outside of Berliner Dom , you could still clearly see the burned trace left from the war , the status are having some black spots on , the German government apparently has tried hard to clean it , but the history , sometimes , is just rooted , what could you do to draw a piece of history out ?
