The Renovation Project

The Swiss Church Building in Covent Garden, 156 years old, underwent a major renovation and transformation in the past few years. However a large part of the building has been in use since the reopening in November 2009. The project, designed by Christ & Gantenbein, aims at both restoring and enhancing the building in terms of attractiveness and functionality. The new building extends far beyond the Parish. The 20,000 or so Swiss community living in and around London and their many friends are now able to enjoy an outstanding new venue.

A central and striking feature of the renovation will be the new, fully mechanical organ, built by the renowned firm, Späth Orgelbau from Rapperswil. Späth organs are famous for their impeccable craftsmanship and their full sound. It will enrich the worship and enable the Swiss Church to hold organ and choir concerts of the highest standing.


Become part of the renovated Church


Sponsor an Organ Pipe
We need your help raising the remaining £100,000 of the renovation budget of £2.2million. And this how better than by sponsoring an individual organ pipe. The new organ will have a total of 676 pipes made of wood, spruce or tin, varying in lengths from 1.8cm to 2.4m. Each pipe, big or small, will play its part in the music of the great new hall. By sponsoring one or more of them you will play a unique part in the restoration and future of the Swiss Church in London.

Every sponsor will  receive a certificate acknowledging his/her contribution and a permanent record will be kept on display in the organ case.
