Zwinglihaus Basel

Zwinglihaus is a Reformed church building in Basel-Gundeldingen, constructed from 1931 to 1932 following modern Bauhaus principles. The interior is defined by five large stained glass windows depicting biblical motifs, created by Basel artist Hanns Studer in 1985.

The building was designed by architect Willi Kehlstadt as an expression of modernist church architecture and consecrated in 1932. It received protected monument status in 1996, marking its recognition as architecturally significant.

The building is named after reformer Huldrych Zwingli and serves the community as a place for worship and gathering. Visitors can experience the simple, functional interior design in the Reformed style, which avoids decoration and ornament.

The church building is located in a residential neighborhood with good public transport access from central Basel. Visitors should check opening hours in advance and whether services or special events are scheduled on their intended visit day.

The building was originally planned not as a church but as a community hall, and was later converted into a place of worship. This unusual repurposing shows how such spaces can be flexibly adapted to serve different functions.
