Widely considered Switzerland’s first reinforced-concrete church, St. Antoniuskirche (1925–1927) made construction the architecture. Moser cast the frame and surfaces monolithically, avoiding applied ornament and enabling broad, column-free spans with a lucid liturgical axis. Contemporary critics dubbed it a “Seelen-Silo” (soul silo), but the interior contradicts the sobriquet: daylight is filtered through bands of polychrome glazing and deep reveals, tinting the concrete in shifting tones and stabilizing acoustics for chant and speech. The church’s program was explicitly social and modern—the industrial material of the district becomes the sacred fabric—aligning theological sobriety with structural rationalism. Joints, coffers, and edges are left legible so that the act of making is visible; the building reads as a didactic section of interwar concrete know‑how. The result is not a style piece but a paradigmatic redefinition of Swiss sacred space: structure as finish, light as liturgy, and material as doctrine

Stepping into this Church dissolves the city’s concrete grasp, leading one into a realm of serene beauty. Despite its solid surroundings, the church cradles visitors in a soft embrace of warmth and ethereal calm. The hushed whispers of the ancient walls tell tales of timeless devotion, and the delicate play of light through the stained glass windows paints a mosaic of hope on the worn pews. The air hums with a gentle, magnetic pull, aligning every wandering soul towards a common north of unity and peace. Amid the steel and stone jungle, this Church stands as a sanctuary of spiritual respite and magical allure, a testament to the transformative power of faith and architecture in harmonious confluence. The ethereal atmosphere within its hallowed halls offers an unexpected reprieve, making every moment spent within its embrace a cherished memory.

I understand that it was the first church in Switzerland to be built in raw reinforced concrete – in 1927. Apart from concrete we can see huge tinted glass windows. No space is left on both sides. It looks like part of the walled city. It has a large prayer hall and a small one on the side. Except for JESUS CHRIST and mother Mary everything else looks quite different from Roman Catholic Church. I am not a Christian so my observation may be wrong. The tall ceiling and calm hall creates an atmosphere to pray and meditate.

Die zwischen 1925 und 1927 vom Architekten Karl Moser, der etwa auch den Badischen Bahnhof in Basel oder das Kunsthaus in Zürich (noch ohne den Neubau) entwarf, schuf diesen für seine Zeit ungewöhnlichen sakralen Bau in Sichtbeton. Der Bau ist architektonisch in drei Teilen deutbar, dem Portal, dem Längsbau und dem Glockenturm, die das Gesamtbild ergeben. Die Kirche ist von umgebenden mehrstöckigen Wohnhäusern eingegrenzt, überragt diese jedoch. Der Glockenturm mit seinen fünf Glocken wird durch ein Betonkreuz geziert. Anfänglich erzeugte der Kirchenbau nicht wenig Empörung, da das Material von Sichtbeton eine gewagte Wahl darstellte. Spötter nannten sie Seelensilo, eine meines Erachtens tragbare Ironie. Im Innern ist der Funktionalität erste Priorität eingeräumt worden. Acht Betonpfeiler stehen als tragende Elemente. Die Beichtstühle heben sich mit sechs Kuben vom Gesamtkubus ab. Auffallend sind die farbigen Glasfenster, die der Lichtwirkung frohe Kraft schenken. Noch ein Kontrast bildet der Rot-Braune Klinkerboden. Da auch Innen der Sichtbeton unverkleidet blieb, war der Ausstattung besonderes Augenmerk vorbehalten. In Stein gehauen kontrastieren da der Kreuzweg des Bildhauers Max Uehlinger und das in Messing getriebene Kranzrelief von Franz Herger. Dominant wirken aber die farbenfrohen Fenster, deren Licht in den Wänden farblich spiegeln. Beachtenswert ist die Orgel, die mit ihren Pfeifen ein anschauliches Bild ergeben. Heute zählt der 90jährige Bau zu den architektonisch bewunderten sakralen Bauten, dessen Gestaltung von nicht wenigen gar als modern...
