St. George catholic church with rectory, Catholic church building in Küsnacht, Switzerland

St. George Church is a Romanesque Revival building in Küsnacht with an adjoining rectory where the parish priest resides. The structure displays rounded arches and solid stonework typical of this architectural style from the 19th century.

The present St. Georg church was built from 1901 to 1903 to designs by Erwin Brunner and Max Meckel, and was consecrated on 4 October 1903, when Küsnacht became an independent parish. The medieval church mentioned by Pope Clement III in 1188 was the predecessor on the site of today's Reformed Church, not here. St. Georg was only solemnly consecrated in 1987 after a full renovation.

The parish is named after Saint George, to whom the earlier Küsnacht church was already dedicated before the Reformation. Since 1898 the community has held Catholic services again, and since 1903 St. Georg has been an independent parish; today it forms a joint parish with St. Agnes in Erlenbach, counting 4,751 members in 2021.

The church is located near Küsnacht railway station, making it easy to reach on foot from surrounding residential areas. Visitors will find it positioned centrally where other local facilities are also within walking distance.

Inside the church is a crypt with wooden interior details that was added in the 1980s. This addition shows how the building evolved to meet contemporary needs while preserving its religious function.
