Pauluskirche (English: Paulus Church or St. Paul) is a Swiss Reformed Church Protestant church in Basel, Switzerland. The church was constructed between May 1898 and November 1901 by Karl Moser (1860-1936) and Robert Curjel and features a Neo-Romanesque architectural style. The apse is fitted with a stone pulpit that is raised behind a stone communion table. The apse also features a gallery, with a central arch behind the pulpit, in which the organ and choir are placed. [1][2] It features artwork in Art Nouveau style including relief work on the church exterior above the main entrance by sculptor Carl Burckhardt (1878-1923), mosaics on the inner front wall by Heinrich Altherr (1878-1947) and stained glass windows by Max Laeuger (1864-1952).[3]
