Holy Trinity Church, Anglican church in Geneva, Switzerland.

Holy Trinity Church is an Anglican place of worship situated between Genève-Cornavin railway station and the shore of Lake Geneva. The building features distinctive stained glass windows created by artist Jacques Wasem across several decades.

English-language worship in Geneva dates to 1555, when Marian exiles used the Auditoire; John Knox was elected minister there a year later. Rev. Gilbert Burnet held the first Anglican service in 1685, and from 1814 worship moved to the Old Hospital Chapel at Bourg-de-Four. In 1846 the English community resolved to build its own church; the State of Geneva provided land, Bishop Charles Sumner laid the foundation stone in 1851, and private subscriptions financed construction. Sumner consecrated Holy Trinity on 30 August 1853.

Worship is held in English, and the congregation belongs to the Church of England's Diocese in Europe. The name recalls the English-speaking Protestant presence in Geneva going back to 1555, when Marian exiles worshipped in French at the Auditoire; John Knox was elected minister there a year later.

The church stands on rue du Mont-Blanc, on the short walk between Genève-Cornavin station and the lakefront hotels, so it is easily reached on foot from either. Anglican worship is held in English; check the parish's current times before visiting, as the building is not kept open all day.

The 150th anniversary in 2003 was marked by an exhibition at the Geneva State Archives, and a catalogue titled "The Welcoming City: English Speaking Protestants from 1555 to the present day" was printed in French and English. The title points to the church's long record of receiving newcomers to Geneva.
