The Swiss Religious Heritage Day is dedicated to current issues on church building in Switzerland. It supports the exchange between decision-makers from the church, the historic preservation and the public. It has been held every two years since 2015. The Fourth Swiss Religious Heritage Day which took place on 27 August 2021, was dedicated to the theme "Flexible church interiors. Current redesigns".

Since 2024, responsibility for organising the Swiss Religious Heritage Day has been shared between the University of Bern (Faculty of Theology, Centre of Competence for Liturgy), which was previously solely responsible, the Paulus Academy in Zurich and the Swiss St. Luke Society for Art and Church. It is financed exclusively by third-party funds from sponsors.

The six Swiss Religious Heritage Days are documented on the website. The website also contains the Database Church Conversions, the Database Modern Church Building in Switzerland and the Documentation Flexible Churches.

The sixth Swiss Religious Heritage Day took place on 29 August 2025 at the Paulus Akademie in Zurich. The topic: Churches in urban districts. Church space and social space.

The seventh Swiss Religious Heritage Day will take place on 27 August 2027.
