Grossmünster

The cathedral is also one of the largest in Switzerland, it is located in the heart of the old town of Zurich, where you can see the tall church bell tower, the natural environment near the church is very elegant, it is suitable for couples to walk here.

The absolute landmark in Zurich feels like the tallest building, the twin towers are very obvious, I am puzzled by the direction of the building, not facing the square, bridge or Zurich lake, the interior is also very rich.

On the edge of Lake Zurich, the view is very good, with two tall towers on the outside, symmetrically laid out, and a small courtyard below. The interior is relatively simple, mainly white and off-white stone, free entry, and there is a drinking place next to it.

Before and after the church was founded in 1100, its architectural style is known as a Roman type twin towers, as a landmark of Zurich. The river and Notre Dame cathedral church in the Swiss reformation in the 16th century, played a pivotal role, the university of Zurich seminary and reformation are established in this museum. The colored glass within the church is the modern master of art giacometti''s masterpiece.
