The Church of St. Felix and Regula is located in Zurich's District 4 (Hard) and stands as a significant example of modern ecclesiastical architecture in Switzerland. Built between 1927 and 1928 following the designs of architect Anton Higi, it was established to serve the expanding Catholic population in the industrial Aussersihl area. The building is characterized by its functionalist design and a prominent bell tower that marks the local skyline. The church is dedicated to the patron saints of Zurich, Felix and Regula, whose legendary martyrdom is deeply intertwined with the city's foundational history. The interior is noted for its spacious, light-filled hall and artistic elements that have been carefully preserved during several renovations. Beyond its religious functions, the church acts as a vital social and cultural hub within the diverse community of the Hard quarter.
