Kloster

A significant building with a Renaissance facade. In the interior you will find numerous frescoes and important Baroque decorations. Founded probably in the early Middle Ages, it became a Parish Church as early as 818, and in the year 1078 it was elevated to Collegiata. Since 1888 it has been a Cathedral.

First large sacred Baroque building in Switzerland. Commissioned by Jesuits and erected in 1666 by Pater Christoph Vogler. In the mid-18th century the vault was redecorated. The chapel holds the original frock of Brother Klaus (Swiss Patron Saint)

Vevey’s Russian church was built in 1878 according to plans drawn in Saint Peterburg and thanks to a donation from Earl Schouvalov. Having lost his daughter, he wanted to immortalise her souvenir in founding a church dedicated to Saint Barbara, her protector.

Linked with the monastery of St. Georgen and the residence of the abbot.

Solothurn's landmark, Switzerland's first early Neo-Classical church.

One of Switzerland's most beautiful Baroque churches.

Besides the Cathedral, this is the city's most important church. The present building dates back to the 15th century, but it was entirely reconstructed from 1850 to 1854 and now is a basilica in neo-Gothic style.
