Elisabethen Church, Basel

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of St. Elisabethen from 1864, Basel
The Elisabethenkirche in Basel is located in the city center right next to the Theater Basel. It is considered the most important neo-Gothic church in Switzerland and is a testament to historicism in terms of architecture and furnishings.
The new building, donated by Christoph Merian and Margarethe Merian-Burckhardt, was built between 1857 and 1864 according to plans by Ferdinand Stadler. This prevailed in an architectural competition in the second round against Joseph Caspar Jeuch. Jeuch managed to have some influence on the build after the first lap. The founder was never to see his church finished, because he died in 1858 shortly before the cornerstone was laid. Christoph Merian financed the construction of the church with the intention of erecting a "memorial against the evil spirit of the time", i.e. against the de-Christianization of state and society. It was the first new church to be built in Basel since the Reformation.

Sevogel Fountain on Martinskirchplatz

Highlight • Monument

The figure was created by Hans Tobel around 1546. The term “Sevogelbrunnen” is used incorrectly; the figure does not represent Captain Henman Sevogel.

Middle Bridge (Mittlere Brücke), Basel

Highlight • Bridge

In addition to the great view of the Rhine, the cathedral and both banks of the Rhine, the bridge itself is a beautiful piece of urban architecture.

Invisible Mother Sculpture Fountain

Highlight • Monument

Urs Fischer's work "Invisible Mother" on the market square is somewhat macabre, as it shows a skeleton on a pedestal with a chair and a water hose.

Basel Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

When you enter the square, the first thing that catches your eye is the colorful city hall. But this place also plays an important role in the everyday life of the people of Basel: the market, which takes place every weekday, is a nice addition to the grocery stores in the city center. Gourmets will find many delicacies and specialties from the region, Switzerland and from all over the world here.
