The Calvinium or the Salle de la Réformation was a building for events in Geneva, at the corner of Rue du Rhône and Boulevard Helvétique. It was demolished in 1969 and replaced by a building which now houses the South African consulate. The building, built in honor of John Calvin, was built by Jean-Henri Merle d'Aubigné.[1][2]
The first meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations took place at the building on 15 November 1920.[3] The Calvinium was also the venue for the World Economic Conference of May 1927.[4]
The Illés Relief was housed in the building for 42 years, being moved out to make way for the League of Nations.
