The Swiss heritage site of national significance building[2] is located at Spitalgasse 44 in the Old City of Bern.

The chapel, hospital, and abbey were first mentioned in 1228 and at the time sat about 150 meters (490 ft) outside the western gate in the first city wall.

During the 1726 construction of the church, Roman religious objects were discovered under the foundation.

[4] The interior is supported by 14 monolithic columns made of sandstone and has a free-standing pulpit in the northern part of the nave.

[4] From 1693 to 1698, the hospital's chief minister was the Pietist theologian Samuel Heinrich König.
