Centre orthodoxe du Patriarcat œcuménique de Pregny-Chambésy, Eastern Orthodox religious center in Pregny-Chambésy, Switzerland
The Orthodox Center spans one hectare in the former Fougères domain, featuring Saint Paul Church and two additional chapels for different Orthodox communities.
The Ecumenical Patriarchate established this religious institution in 1966 under Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople to strengthen Orthodox presence in Switzerland.
The center brings together Greek, Romanian, and French-speaking Orthodox communities, each maintaining their distinct liturgical traditions and practices.
Visitors can access the Orthodox Center through two entrances located on Chemin de Chambésy and Chemin des Cornillons in Pregny-Chambésy.
Saint Paul Church, designed by architects Georges Lavas and Arthur Bugna, accommodates 300 worshippers and combines Orthodox architecture with Swiss elements.
