Since 1846, Anglican services had occasionally been celebrated in the Burgerspital chapel . The small church named after Saint Ursula , which has around 100 seats, was built in a few months according to plans by Eduard Rybi and Ernst Salchli in neo-Gothic style and was inaugurated on September 20, 1906 just ten days after the Synagogue in Bern, also designed by Rybi . Thomas Wilkinson, Bishop of Fulham , the Swiss President Ludwig Forrer and Sir George Bonham, the British Ambassador, were present .
In 1960 a parish hall and a house for the pastor were completed. From 1992 to 1994 the community hall was expanded and the other buildings renovated.
