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. 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 seventh Swiss Religious Heritage Day will take place on 27 August 2027. Topic: Church buildings as resonating bodies.
