St. Johannes Church, Lucerne

The Court Church of St. Leodegar, usually called "Hofkirche", was built between 1633 and 1639 partly on the foundations of the Romanesque basilica which burned down in 1633. It is one of the few churches built north of the Alps during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and one of the largest and most valuable churches of the late German Renaissance in terms of art history.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church was founded in the USA in 1863. It emerged from a grouping of the second of three large supradenominational Protestant revival movements with over 100,000 followers in the USA (Second Great Awakening 1800-1840). The first official Advent congregation in Switzerland was founded in Basel in 1883. Precursor municipalities have existed in the Jura Arch since 1867, including in Tramelan/BE.

The Jesuit church, built from 1666 to 1677, was the first large baroque church in Switzerland. Both towers were added later in 1893 by the architect Heinrich Viktor von Segesser. The church was renovated in the 1950s and more widely in the 1970s. The most recent renovation was completed in January 2017.
