Reformed church, Protestant church building in Arlesheim, Switzerland
The Reformed Church in Arlesheim is a Protestant church building with a longitudinal nave, entrance hall, and tower located at Stollenrain 18. Its interior accommodates approximately 285 worshippers and features an organ and choir area.
The church was designed and built by architects Emanuel La Roche and Adolf Stähelin between 1911 and 1912. It underwent a complete renovation from 1970 to 1971, after which it was designated as a class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance.
The church follows Reformed Protestant principles with an emphasis on scripture, preaching, and congregational singing during services. The simple interior design reflects this direct approach to worship.
The church is accessed at Stollenrain 18 and its interior provides clear sightlines to the pulpit and choir area for worshippers. Keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so visiting conditions depend on scheduled services and events.
The building represents one of only two architectural commissions by Emanuel La Roche and Adolf Stähelin in the region, highlighting its importance to local building history. This partnership between the two architects resulted in a functional design that matched the needs of the early 1900s.
