The Luisenkirche in Charlottenburg, Berlin, is a Protestant parish church whose Baroque structure was begun in 1710 by architect Philipp Gerlach and completed in 1712. Named after Queen Luise of Prussia around a century after its founding, the church underwent significant modification when Karl Friedrich Schinkel proposed additions to its steeple and interior in 1821, with work partly executed from 1823 onward. Destroyed during World War II, the building was reconstructed in the 1950s and underwent restoration in 1987–88 that partially revived Schinkel's neoclassical interventions. Today it stands as an architectural heritage monument bridging Baroque origins with later nineteenth-century classical refinement.
