• Grossmünster church

    June 30, 2025 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    The Grossmünster Church is a former monastery built on the graves of the city’s patron saints, Felix and Regula, and is the site of the first secondary school, which according to legend, was founded by Charlemagne. His statue (a copy; see Crypt in 2nd set) stands on top of the south tower, the Karlsturm.
    The stained glass windows by Sigmar Polke, the Romanesque crypt, the choir windows by Augusto Giacometti, the bronze doors by Otto Münch, and the Reformation Museum in the cloister are just some of the highlights that can be admired here.
