St Ursula's Church

St Ursula's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Bern built in the Gothic Revival style. The building displays tall windows, fine stonework, and detailed architectural patterns across its exterior facade.

The church was built in the early 1900s thanks to the generosity of Mrs. John Castleman, an American Episcopalian who funded its construction. It has since remained a permanent place of worship for English speakers in Bern.

The church serves the English-speaking community in Bern, offering a familiar spiritual space for residents and visitors from abroad. Its role reflects how international groups maintain their own religious traditions within a Swiss context.

The church is located in the Kirchenfeld district and is accessible by public transport. The building is wheelchair-friendly and provides spaces for families with children during services.

This church stands out among Swiss religious buildings because it was created specifically for English speakers living in a German-speaking country. This makes it a rare example of international diversity within Bern.
