Lausanne's Protestant Churches

Lausanne’s religious landscape is defined by its transition from Catholicism to Protestantism during the Reformation. This collection features the 13th-century Gothic Notre-Dame Cathedral, known for its rose window and night watch tradition, alongside the former Franciscan monastery of Saint-François. The list also includes the Baroque Saint-Laurent church and various evangelical temples like Sévelin and Saint-Jean-Cour, representing the evolution of Reformed worship from the historic city center to its modern residential neighborhoods.
