Church of the Holy Spirit

This large Reformed church sits beside Bahnhofplatz at the entrance to Spitalgasse. Its scale and sandstone interior offer a quiet architectural contrast to the busy station area.

Church of the Holy Spirit

Why go

The present church replaced earlier religious buildings connected with Bern’s Holy Spirit hospital. Inside, 14 monolithic sandstone columns carry the spacious nave, with a freestanding pulpit reflecting its Reformed use. Even from outside, it marks the shift from modern station to Old City streets.

What to look for

  • The church stands prominently at Bahnhofplatz beside Spitalgasse.
  • Fourteen single-piece sandstone columns support the interior.
  • A freestanding pulpit occupies the nave.

Useful to know

  • See the exterior as you leave the station for Spitalgasse.
  • Check locally for interior access if the columns and pulpit are your main reason to stop.
