St. Mary's catholic church

The Catholic parish church features a three-nave columned basilica design without transept, incorporating elements of Neoromanesque architectural style throughout its structure.

Hermann Baur designed this church during the early twentieth century, marking a period of substantial growth in the Roman Catholic population of Olten.

The church maintains its status as a Class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance, forming an essential part of Olten's architectural heritage.

Located at Frohburgstrasse 1 in Olten, the church welcomes visitors and holds regular religious services throughout the week for the local community.

The interior of St. Mary's contains religious artworks that represent biblical narratives, while its exterior demonstrates the late period of historicism in Swiss architecture.
