Database Church Conversions in Switzerland

The database records around 250 churches, chapels and monasteries in Switzerland that have undergone conversion or are planned for conversion in the last 25 years. Parsonages, parish halls, parish centers and other church properties are not included, even if they are also affected by the conversion problem today. The database does not claim to be exhaustive. However, it does provide an overview of how the issue of church conversion is dealt with in Switzerland. For each property there is a fiche with the most important information on the building, brief details on the conversion, further - in some cases very detailed - information on the conversion and pictures. The database can be filtered according to nine criteria: Place, canton, name, denomination, building type, ownership, building measures, form of use, type of use. Prof. Dr. Johannes Stückelberger is responsible for the database.
