Facts and practical information

The Stadtpfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt is the Roman Catholic parish church in Baden, Switzerland. It belongs to the Catholic parish of Baden-Ennetbaden in the diocese of Basel.

The church is located in the center of the old town on the edge of a terrain terrace that slopes down to the Limmat River. In its present form it is based on the Gothic church building erected in the 15th century, but the history of the parish dates back to the early Middle Ages. On the southern slope of the terrace stands St. Sebastian's Chapel, which once served as an ossuary. Part of the surrounding area was used as a cemetery until 1820.

The town parish church is a cultural asset of national rank.
