Grande Loge Suisse Alpina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grande Loge Suisse Alpina is one of the Grand Lodges of Freemasons that covers Switzerland.[1] It was founded in 1844[2] and is recognised by the United Grand Lodge of England.[3] It lists 83 lodges.[4]
Although traditionally linked to the Continental Freemasonry of the Grand Orient de France they became closer to the United Grand Lodge of England after World War II. This led to the defection of members who ultimately set up the Grand Orient de Suisse.[5]
