Grossmünster
Sight4.5 · 10 1064.2 · 1 939≈ 45 minEntry: ~5 CHF531 m from the center
Zurich's twin-towered landmark church on the banks of the Limmat. Legend says it stands over the graves of the city's patron saints Felix and Regula, whose figures appear on Otto Münch's bronze doors. Ulrich Zwingli preached here from 1519, turning Zurich into a centre of the Reformation, and the stained glass in the choir is by Augusto Giacometti. Church entry is free; a small fee is charged for climbing the Karlsturm tower.
Highlights
- Twin towers, the city's trademark skyline
- Otto Münch's bronze doors and Giacometti's glass
- Zwingli's church, heart of the Reformation
- Free entry; only the tower climb is charged
