Intro

Lured to Lucerne by the wealthy Ludwig Pfyffer von Altishofen, the Jesuits brought the Counter Reformation to Lucerne in the 17th century; the elaborate Jesuitenkirche, dedicated to Francis Xavier, was constructed in 1666. Architects from Italy and Austria built what many believe to be the most beautiful Baroque church in Switzerland.

  •

Rose and white plaster work embellishes an ethereal white interior. A massive pink altarpiece forms the focal point at the front of the sanctuary; although it resembles marble, it is actually stucco and plaster. The second side chapel on the right is dedicated to Brother Klaus. In place of an altarpiece stands a life-size statue of the beloved recluse clad in an authentic brown habit.
