Geschichte
Bern built the Minster as a symbol of its growing power, with the city and the Deutsche Orden as its builders.
- 1191A church probably stood on the site from Bern’s founding.
- 1356The Basel earthquake damaged the earlier church’s walls, arches and tower.
- 1421Construction began around the earlier Leutkirche, with Matthäus Ensinger as the first master builder.
- 1460–1480Erhart Küng carved the main portal and its figures.
- 1521Tower construction stopped at about 60 metres because of weak foundations, after a corner pillar began to sink.

- 1528The Reformation halted construction, and the Minster became a Reformed place of worship.
- 1571Construction resumed after the interruption brought by the Reformation.
- 1893The tower was completed in a partly Neo-Gothic style, ending the centuries-long building project.

Fragen und Antworten
Where are Berner Münster’s original life-size portal figures?
The original life-size figures are displayed at the Bernisches Historisches Museum. Copies replaced them after damage from 20th-century air pollution.
What organs does Berner Münster have?
The main organ stands on the gallery opposite the choir. Kuhn rebuilt it in 1999, reusing parts of its old Baroque case; its current four-keyboard setup dates from the 1998–1999 restorations. A second organ, made by Metzler in 1982, occupies a swallow’s-nest installation in the choir.
Was the Münsterplattform always a park beside Berner Münster?
No. The terrace was built as a churchyard between 1334 and the mid-15th century and became an open plaza in the 20th century. During the Reformation, paintings and statues from the cathedral’s altars were discarded there; archaeological digs later recovered some of them.
