Pasquart church, Protestant church building in New City North, Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.
Pasquart church is a Protestant place of worship in the New City North district built with white limestone from the Jura region. Large windows pierce the exterior and flood the interior with light, while the space inside features plain, clean lines.
The church was built in 1904 under architect Karl Joseph Leuch and inaugurated with a formal ceremony. Its construction was part of the early modern expansion of this district, which needed new infrastructure and community spaces.
The stained glass windows depict religious themes created by Friedrich Berbig, showing scenes like Baptism and the Last Supper. These artistic works shape the interior and tell biblical stories that visitors notice as they move through the space.
The church is located at Seevorstadt 99A and is easy to reach from the public spaces of the district. Visitors should remember this is an active place of worship, so respectful behavior during a visit is important.
The tower is crowned by four bells cast in 1924 by the Rüetschi foundry, standing as symbols of the four evangelists. The largest of these bells is among the notable examples of Swiss bell-casting craft from that era.
