Saint Nicholas Church

Abstract

Inaugurated in 1971 to replace an old church damaged by an earthquake in 1946, Saint Nicholas Church is the work of Basel architect Walter Förderer. Sculpted from raw concrete and built some ten years after the colossal Grande Dixence dam, it creates a link between centuries-old tradition and the changes brought about by the hydroelectric era.
