Historic Heart of Geneva's Faith

Cathédrale Saint Pierre represents the epicenter of Protestant history in Geneva.

Founded in the 12th century, it served as the church for John Calvin from 1536 to 1564, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation. The cathedral showcases predominantly Gothic architecture complemented by an 18th-century neoclassical facade. Visitors can spiral up 96 steps to the northern tower for a closer look at its construction and panoramic views of the city.
