New Fluntern Church

The Predigerkirche was a church founded, together with a convent, in Zurich by the Dominicans in the 13th century. With the Protestant Reformation, it was transformed into a Protestant place of worship. From 1606 to 1614, the nave was fitted with Baroque elements. In 1887, the monastery building was destroyed by fire and the Zentralbibliothek was built in its place in 1915. In 1900, the church was endowed with the highest tower in the city, measuring 97 metres, designed by G. Gull and clearly inspired by the collapsed Grossmünster Towers.

The Liebfrauen Church was built between 1892 and 1894 according to the plans of the architect August Hardegger (1858-1927), who designed the church in the style of an early Christian basilica based on models of Roman and Ravenna buildings. Hardegger had developed the idea in collaboration with the influential art historian and priest Albert Kuhn (1839-1929).

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.
