Temple d'Yverdon, Protestant church in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.

Temple d'Yverdon is a Protestant church on Place Pestalozzi, opposite Yverdon Castle. Its two-storey main facade is divided into five vertical axes, the outer two rounded into the side walls, with a toothed-frieze entablature on Ionic columns and a central aedicula portal. Above, Corinthian pilasters frame the clock, inscribed Superna quaerite and the year 1755; a segmental gable crowned by vases carries Johann August Nahl's rococo allegory of the Christian faith.

The temple was built between 1753 and 1757 by architect Jean-Michel Billon, replacing a medieval chapel. The original bell tower from 1608 was preserved and remains standing beside the new structure.

The church is also called Temple Pestalozzi, after the educator whose name the square facing it bears. Inside hangs Louis Rivier's "Le mystère de la Rédemption" (1949–1951), a five-panel painting over seven metres long, placed here in 2019 on loan from the city's visual art fund. The late-Gothic choir stalls, carved around 1416 by Lausanne master Bon Boctelier, show prophets and apostles with inscribed scrolls.

The church stands on Place Pestalozzi, facing Yverdon Castle in the old town, with the medieval tower attached to one side of the irregular plan. The main facade faces the square, so the entrance and the 1755 clock with its Latin motto are seen from there. Visitors should check service times before entering, as the building is in parish use.

The bells in the tower date partly from before 1500 and form one of the oldest functioning bell ensembles in the region. This historical collection was recognized and protected as a monument early on.
