The synagogue on Löwenstrasse in Zürich was an Ashkenazi synagogue from 1883-84. The synagogue was restored in 1936, 1952 and finally in 1993 by the architects Michael Berlowitz and Ron Epstein-Mil. The brick synagogue mixes neo-Moorish and neo-Byzantine elements.

St. Peter in Zurich, built from the 13th century, is one of the three Old Town churches that characterize the silhouette of Zurich. It is located on a hill in the old town near the Lindenhof, where the Roman settlement of Turicum and the imperial Palatinate lay.
The Fraumünster Zurich, established in 853, is one of the four Reformed churches of the Old Town and one of the city's landmarks. The former Fraumünster Monastery, destroyed in the 19th century, was a Benedictine monastery.
The Wasserkirche was originally located on a small island in the Limmat, but today the church is attached to the right bank. Before the Reformation, the Wasserkirche played an important role in the veneration of the Zurich saints Felix and Regula, as it was the place of their execution. The crypt of the first Wasserkirche, built in the 10th century, was a low church around a rock which was venerated as the place of execution of Felix and Regula. From 1940 excavations were carried out in the crypt for the first time. The crypt of the Wasserkirche has been open to the public since 1988.
