Scots Kirk, Lausanne

Scots Kirk, Lausanne

The Scots Kirk is situated at 24 Avenue de Rumine, Lausanne. It is one of two congregations of the Church of Scotland in Switzerland, the other being the Scots Kirk in Geneva, and is part of the Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Europe.

The church building was designed in English neo-gothic style by the well known French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, in Lausanne for the renovation of the cathedral, and was formally dedicated in 1877.

Sunday services are at 10.30 and are in English. The current minister is the Reverend Melvyn Wood MA BD. He was formerly minister at Cullen and Deskford in Banffshire, Scotland, and was inducted as minister in Lausanne by the Presbytery of Europe in December 2004. The Scots Kirk is a sanctioned charge of the Church of Scotland but its present day congregation draws members from many different nationalities and theological traditions.
