Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva
Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva, Minor Basilica in Genève-Cité, Switzerland
The Gothic Revival basilica stands near Cornavin railway station, constructed with sandstone and featuring white Carrara marble statues and stained glass windows.
Built between 1852 and 1857 according to Alexandre Grigny's design, the church faced closure in 1875 during anti-clerical government occupation until 1911.
The basilica holds daily Catholic masses and serves as a significant stop for pilgrims traveling the Santiago de Compostela route through Switzerland.
The building remains open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM and Sundays from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with multiple mass schedules.
The structure contains pre-Reformation artifacts including a painted torch and carved wood panel depicting the Virgin Mary among its historical collection.
