The Grossmünster, built between 1100 and 1220, is a protestant reformed church in Zurich's old town. The first part of the Grossmünster is believed to have been built by Charlemagne, who discovered the tombs of Saints Felix and Regula, two martyrs of Christianity, around the 7th century. The Protestant Reformation in Switzerland led by Ulrich Zwingli began in the Grossmünster, where he preached from 1519 onwards as a priest. The twin towers of the church, with their neo-Gothic domes, are the symbol of the town.

NH Church. Three-aisled hall church with a three-sided closed choir, a north choir and a tower with an octagonal superstructure and a spire. The oldest parts of the church date back to the 13th century; the tower with perpendicular buttresses dates from the 14th century. The nave and the north aisle were built in the second half of the 15th century. The south aisle served as a Walloon Church from 1618 to 1808 and was separated from the rest of the church around 1685. During a major renovation in 1868, the church was completely plastered on the outside and the windows were given new traceries. After a lightning strike, the tower was restored and deplastered in 1950. The interior is covered by a flat stucco ceiling from 1868. An important part of the interior is the pulpit with surrounding baptismal garden in Louis XVI style: donated in 1794 by descendants of Jacob Cats. The single manual organ was built in 1903 by JF Kruse (Leeuwarden).
