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 Gothic Revival 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 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.
In the absence of a permanent appointment, the congregation is currently being overseen by an "Interim Minister" - the Rev John Christie. On 27 October 2009 Mr Christie was nominated to be the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland for 2010-2011.
