Kirche Oberburg, Oberburg

Oberburg Church is a Reformed church building in Oberburg BE, Switzerland.

The parish church of St. George, which dates back to the Middle Ages, was the parish church for Oberburg and Burgdorf BE until 1401. The church, which stands slightly elevated on the eastern slope of the Rothöchi, was given its present form during the construction of a new building, which was begun in 1497 under Leonhard Hüpschi. The current shape of the tower spire dates back to a renovation from 1938 to 1940; below it hangs, among other things, a bell dated 1504 with reliefs.

The stone pulpit from 1673 has a sound cover from 1683; the communion table was created in 1675 and the baptismal font in 1799. On the south wall is a fresco dated 1517 and signed with the monogram "E" with a depiction of the Holy Kinship. Two choir windows, dated 1878 and 1905, are by Karl Wehrli and three nave windows are by Robert Schär.
