Scottish church, Presbyterian church in Lausanne, Switzerland
The Scottish Church is a Protestant place of worship built in the Neo-Gothic style with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and buttresses dating from the late 19th century. Its architectural design draws from medieval Gothic patterns that were popular again across Europe at that time.

The building is recognized as a protected cultural property and welcomes visitors interested in the architecture or attending services. It sits in a convenient location within the city center.
The church holds an official designation as a protected cultural property at the regional level, highlighting its architectural and historical importance to the area. This recognition makes it part of Switzerland's heritage that needs care and preservation.
