Review:

St. Peter Church (St. Peterskirche) as it is more commonly known, is one of the four main churches of Zurich, along with Predigerkirche, Fraumünster, and Grossmünster. The current church that visitors now see was sanctified as the first church constructed under Protestant rule in 1706.

Prior to that, a Gothic-style church was found on site in 1460, a Romanesque structure in 1230, and a temple to Jupiter was on the very same place long before that. Visitors will be able to see the largest church clock face in Europe as an 8.7-meter clock face can be found on the steeple. The interior of the church holds much more for visitors, including the remains of a fresco inside the apse, a stunning curved ceiling, Rudolf Brun's gravestone, and a spectacular pipe organ installed by Manufacture d´Orgues Muhleisen from Strasbourg in 1974.
