Preacher's Church

The Preacher's Church features medieval architecture with a stone bell tower, transparent choir screen, and four organs including a Silbermann masterwork from 1769.

Built between 1233 and 1237 as a Dominican monastery church, the building underwent Gothic adaptations from 1262 to 1269 with consecration by Bishop Albertus Magnus.

The church maintains its role as a Catholic center, displaying medieval gilded processional crosses and three icons depicting Jesus, Mary, and the Archangels.

Located near the University Hospital of Basel, the church opens daily for prayers, organ concerts, and community gatherings in both traditional and modern spaces.

During 2020, the church temporarily transformed into a triage center for the University Hospital while maintaining its religious services in a separate parish house.
