    The Church of the Augustinian Hermits was built in 1270 on the western city wall of Zurich. During the Reformation, the church was converted into a mint. It wasn't until 1841 that Zurich Catholics reclaimed it as a church. When the congregation rejected the dogmas of the First Vatican Council, it was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. From then on, it called itself the Christian Catholic Congregation. The Augustinian Church remained its place of worship.

    It received its present appearance during the renovation in 1959. Worth seeing are the simply designed choir, the crucifixion group, the block altar and baptismal font by Franz Fischer, as well as the stained glass windows by August Wanner.
