Aeropalace, Residential complex in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland.

The Aeropalace is a residential and commercial building on Silbergasse and Murtengasse in Biel/Bienne, built in two stages completed in November 1939 and 1945 to designs by Primo Taini and Carlo Cattoni. Its flat roof carries a double-stepped attic, and the facade is divided horizontally by half-round mouldings. Only the entrances have stone ornaments framing the doors, with a flat relief on each side of the vestibule.

The Aeropalace was built in two stages, completed in November 1939 and in 1945, to designs by architects Primo Taini and Carlo Cattoni. It belongs to the Bahnhofquartier, laid out between 1927 and 1948 under Neues Bauen building rules. In 2003 the canton listed it as worth protecting, and a contract of 5 August 2020 placed it under monument protection.

The two entrances carry aviation names: the Chaveztor honours Jorge Chávez (1887–1910), the Bidertor at Murtengasse 28 is dedicated to Oskar Bider (1891–1919). The building stands in the Bahnhofquartier, laid out between 1927 and 1948 under Neues Bauen rules, whose uniformly planned streets are considered unique in Switzerland.

The Aeropalace stands at the corner of Silbergasse 11 and Murtengasse 24–28, in the Bahnhofquartier south of the Schüss. The Chaveztor serves as the main entrance on the Silbergasse side, while the Bidertor opens at Murtengasse 28. The stairwell at Silbergasse 11 keeps its original glazed double doors, so look for them when entering.

The two main entrances carry names of aviation pioneers: the Chaveztor honours Jorge Chávez (1887–1910), and the Bidertor at Murtengasse 28 is dedicated to Oskar Bider (1891–1919). The building's name and these portals tie the 1939–1945 block to early Swiss flight.
