The first members of the Church of Christ Scientists moved to Basel in 1907. In 1913 they founded an association and built the church in 1935/36 at Picassoplatz 2 in Basel (I am sure the street had another name then, but I could not find out which one).
The church was built by well-known architect Otto Rudolf Salvisberg. It is listed as a protected historic site. The international style building looks very interesting but due to its location in an inner yards is is unfortunately not possible to get a complete overview of the building from one single viewpoint.
The church is big enough for about 800 visitors. The building also contains rooms for Sunday School, a reading room and some office rooms.
Service is held Sunday 10:00 and Wednesday 20:00.
