Add PhotosThe church was part of the Dominican monastery and was founded by Joachim II in 1536.
During the 1550's the remains of several Hohenzollern that had rested in the Kloster Lehnin were brought to this church and placed in the crypt. In 1747 Friedrich II decided to pull the old church down and founded a new cathedral on the other side of the castle. He had most of his ancestors moved to the new church between 26th and 31st December 1749. Ten of the sarcophagi were simply forgotten. It was assumed that they were in a walled up part of the crypt. Several excavations (1873, 1880, 1930 1997 and in 2010) mostly connected to other building projects (like the rebuilding of the castle) did not find the sarcophagi of the Hohenzollern, but found the bones of people buried on the cemetery and in other parts of the church.
