Don-Bosco-Church, Catholic chapel in Breite district, Basel, Switzerland
The Don Bosco Church features modern architectural lines with geometric shapes, clean surfaces, and a bell tower at Waldenburgerstrasse 32.
The Catholic church building, designed by architect Hermann Baur, opened its doors in 1935 as part of the Holy Spirit Parish.
The church received its name from Saint John Bosco, an Italian Catholic priest who dedicated his work to education and care for youth.
Located at coordinates 47.5542°N and 7.60889°E, the church closed in 2013 and underwent deconsecration in September 2016.
The building maintains protected status while its bell tower requires renovation, and local authorities examine plans for secular use of the structure.
