Churches in Zurich Region

The Grossmünster is Zurich's landmark. You will visit the Romanesque church, climb the Karlsturm and discover the medieval stained glass windows – right in the heart of the old town, between Limmat and Niederdorf.

On 18 May 1478 the people of Zug, under the direction of Hans Felder, laid the foundation stone for this late-Gothic church. The main entrance is flanked up on the left and right by the city’s patron saints, Oswald and Michael.

Beautiful former monastery on Rheininsel – the brilliance and richness of the magnificent interior of the baroque building are overwhelming. The monastery church is one of the most significant Swiss sacred buildings.

What’s special about the Rapperswil monastery is that guests may truly immerse themselves in the life of the community.

Visit the Fraumünster at the Münsterhof in Zurich's Old Town. The church houses five coloured Chagall windows in the choir as well as a stained glass by Augusto Giacometti – and in the crypt over 1200 years of city history.

The minster is one of Canton Aargau’s most beautiful churches. It is the core of the medieval pilgrimage destination and erstwhile marketplace, Bad Zurzach.
