Piuskirche Meggen

The Piuskirche Meggen features a 13-meter high cubic structure with 888 translucent Greek marble slabs between steel supports forming the outer walls.

Architect Franz Füeg designed this Roman Catholic church during Switzerland's architectural innovation period, completing its construction in 1966 with Bishop Franziskus von Streng's consecration.

The building represents Swiss architectural excellence through its class A cultural property designation, marking its status as a structure of national significance.

Located near Lake Lucerne at coordinates 47.046348, 8.372411, the church maintains regular religious services while accommodating cultural events throughout the year.

The marble walls filter natural light, transforming the exterior's pale white appearance into interior spaces filled with ochre to orange illumination depending on external conditions.
