Friedenskirche, Protestant church in Olten, Switzerland.
The Friedenskirche stands on the right bank of the Aare River at Reiserstrasse, featuring a 60-meter tower with an observation platform.
Fritz von Niederhäusern constructed the Friedenskirche between 1928 and 1929 to replace an earlier religious structure from 1860 at the same location.
The church contains a Kuhn organ from 1929 with 45 registers distributed across three manuals and pedals, making it a central piece of musical heritage.
The church building accommodates 760 people, includes wheelchair access, and offers additional rental spaces like the Kapelle, Riggenbachsaal, and Zehndersaal.
The bell ensemble consists of five bells cast by H. Rüetschi AG, displaying the Olten coat of arms and the year 1928 on their surfaces.
