The building stands out from Basel's medieval churches through its rounded silhouette and richly worked exterior. Its current use as a cultural venue adds another layer to the architecture, but an unplanned visit is best centred on the outside. It is a strong pairing with Schützenmattpark if you want a short architecture stop and a green pause in the same area.
What to look for
Prominent dome.
Decorative stone exterior.
Useful to know
Interior access depends on cultural programming; the exterior fits a walk near Schützenmattpark.
