Hare-Krishna-Tempel Zürich, Hindu temple at Bergstrasse, Zürich, Switzerland
The Hare Krishna Temple occupies a former 1909 patrician mansion on Bergstrasse along the Zürichberg slopes. The building features a prayer room on the ground floor with an altar, while upper levels contain a library and exhibition space.
The Krishna Consciousness society acquired this abandoned banker's residence in 1980 and restored it through community efforts. The property has since become an active spiritual center serving the city.
The place serves as a gathering point where visitors can experience Krishna devotion through chanting and community gatherings today. These regular meetings draw people from many backgrounds and create a welcoming space for spiritual practice.
The location at Bergstrasse 54 is accessible daily with extended hours throughout the week. Visitors should note that opening times vary between weekdays and weekends for planning your visit.
The upper floor houses an exhibition about Prabhupada, the founder of the international Krishna movement. This collection displays personal items and writings that document his life and influence.
