Grossmunster

The Grossmünster is a Romanesque-style Protestant church in Zürich, Switzerland. It is one of the four major churches in the city (the others being the Fraumünster, Predigerkirche and St. Peterskirche).Its congregation forms part of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Zürich. The core of the present building near the banks of the Limmat was constructed on the site of a Carolingian church, which was, according to legend, originally commissioned by Charlemagne. Construction of the present structure commenced around 1100 and it was inaugurated around 1220.

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.

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.
