The Church of Würzbrunnen is a former pilgrimage church in the municipality of Röthenbach im Emmental, Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The church was dedicated to St. Stephen, but the pilgrimage was actually to St. Wolfgang. A wooden church, believed to have been founded by Leuthold von Rümligen (1115–1148), previously stood on the site of the current late Gothic church building. In 1148, Pope Eugene III confirmed Rüeggisberg Abbey's ownership rights to the Church of Würzbrunnen and the small Röthenbach Abbey. After a fire in 1494, the church was rebuilt in its present form, and in 1779 the interior was decorated in Baroque style with numerous biblical paintings. The church became particularly well-known through Franz Schnyder's film adaptations of Gotthelf's works. Today, it is a popular wedding venue, hosting numerous ceremonies from April to October.
