Peace Church

The Peace Church is a Protestant church building in the Mattenhof district featuring early twentieth-century architectural characteristics. The structure at Friedensstrasse 9 was built with solid construction methods and functions as a religious center for the neighborhood.

Architect Karl Indermühle designed and completed the building in 1920 as new religious structures were emerging in Bern. The completion occurred during a period when Protestant communities were expanding spatially and organizationally.

The Peace Church carries a name reflecting its meaning for the community and shows how Protestants in this quarter expressed their faith. Visitors can see how the architecture conveys the values of that era and the building still serves as a gathering place for religious and community activities.

The church is located in an easily accessible residential area and can be reached on foot from the Mattenhof district. The site typically offers open access for visitors who wish to explore the building and its surroundings.

The building is recognized as protected cultural property by two different authorities, demonstrating its importance at multiple levels. This dual recognition makes it an important example of regional and local heritage protection standards in Switzerland.
