The 18th century was a time of very active secular building in Berne, but the only church building of these years was the Heiliggeistkirche (1726-1729), which is an interesting example of Protestant church building during the Swiss Baroque period with stucco decoration by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayr. [Niklaus Schiltknecht is listed as the architect. The church is on a historic registry.]
