About
The Church of Thun, also known as the Stadtkirche Thun or Parish Church of Thun, is a historic Reformed church in the Swiss town of Thun. Its address is Kirchgasse 2, in the town's old centre, and it stands as one of the most recognisable landmarks in the area.
What to see
- The bell tower, which rises prominently above the surrounding streets and makes the church easy to spot as you walk through town.
- The baroque interior, a contrast to the plainer character often associated with Reformed churches, and a reason many visitors step inside.
- Its place in the townscape, where the church sits among the old streets and lanes of Thun.
Planning a visit
The church suits a relaxed stop rather than a long excursion. Allow time to look at the exterior from several angles, then go inside to see the baroque interior. If you would like to check on opening arrangements or any visit details before you go, you can call the parish on +41 33 222 85 41.
Because the church is in the centre of Thun, it pairs naturally with a wander through the town itself. The old quarter and the surrounding streets are close by, so a visit here can be part of a longer walk around the town, whether you are passing through Switzerland's Bernese Oberland or spending a day in Thun.
