Petruskirche Bern

Petruskirche Bern, located at Brunnadernstrasse 40 in Bern, Switzerland, is a notable Reformed church constructed between 1947 and 1949 under the design of architect Max Böhm. The church's architecture draws inspiration from early Christian hall churches, featuring a six-bay nave leading to a chancel adorned with a relief cross. A distinctive feature of the church is the series of large-scale reliefs by artist Gustave Piguet, depicting scenes from the life of the Apostle Peter, which embellish the open porch connecting the church to its adjoining community center and slender bell tower.

Beyond its architectural significance, Petruskirche serves as a vibrant center for worship and community activities. The congregation offers a variety of services, events, and support programs aimed at fostering spiritual growth and community well-being. Notably, the church has been recognized for its environmental initiatives, holding an environmental certificate and actively participating as a Blue Community, advocating for responsible water usage.
