Historic Churches of Zurich

Zurich’s skyline is defined by its historic steeples, ranging from the iconic twin towers of the Romanesque Grossmünster to the record-breaking clock face of St. Peter’s. This collection spans centuries of architectural history, featuring the Fraumünster’s celebrated Marc Chagall stained glass and the Wasserkirche, originally built on a river island. The list also includes significant 20th-century landmarks, such as the modernist concrete designs of Fritz Metzger and Werner Max Moser, reflecting the city's Reformation heritage and its evolving religious landscape.
