The Chagall windows alone are worth a visit, and DO ask for an audio guide -- the commentary on topics ranging from the church's history to Chagall's stained glass panels (and their meanings) are among the best I've ever heard

A magnificent church, well managed including entry, crypt and shop. The brochure is excellent and an essential guide. The stained glass by Chagall and Giacometti is wonderful. I would suggest organ music at regular intervals to complete the experience.

A must visit when in Zurich and one of the more interesting Churches in Zurich, located inside the Old Town, near the shops and restaurants. It has a crypt as well, which is very interesting if you’re into that sort of thing. Church is free to enter, crypt there is a small fee to be paid in cash as far as I can remember

Very beautiful church with impressive works by Chagall. It is a must to visit Fraumunster when visiting Zurich. Audio guide is also suggested and it is included in the ticket.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church in the historic center of Zurich, characterized by the high spire of the bell tower clearly visible from many points of the city. The painted stained glass window by Chagall is famous (Original) Bella chiesa del centro storico di Zurigo, caratterizzata dall'alta guglia del campanile ben visibile da molti punti della città. Famosa la vetrata dipinta di Chagall

Superb place Stained glasses are stunning: 5 of them were crafted by Marc Chagall and others by Giacometti. A must see. Sleek and neat. I love it

This church with green steeple is located on the west bank of Limmat and is one of the four main churches of Zürich. Founded in 853 by King Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard, this church with its convent was inhabited by the female members of the aristocracy of Europe. It is built on the remains of a former abbey for aristocratic women.

Both the church interior and exterior are lovely. The architecture, windows and frescoes are beautiful. We visited on a grey January day and it was still lovely. We were not able to enter the churt itself, but could climb to the choir loft and look over the entire building.

Awesome cathedral church. Lots of great history and beautiful inside, pictures do not do it correct justice. Go on Sunday for a very nice service, in German, and listen to the pipe organ. It is played beautifully.

What a historical place. If you’re in zurich you must visit it at least for 15 minutes . They have automatic audio guidance. But the place is truly magical. I have a tattoo of it on my chest

(Translated by Google) The Fraumünster costs 5 francs entry, but it is definitely worth it. The glass windows in the choir, for me the highlight of the church, are masterpieces by Marc Chagall. (Original) Das Fraumünster kostet 5 Franken Eintritt, die sich aber auf jeden Fall lohnen. Die Glasfenster im Chor, für mich das Highlight an der Kirche, sind Meisterwerke von Marc Chagall.

Love it when I am in town to get there for a quieter time.. beautiful architectural design!

It's a majestic church atop a scenic bridge at the heart of Zurich. On one side of the church, the road leads to the bustling city life with supermarkets, shops and restaurants, while the other side, crossing over the bridge takes you to the calmer version of the city.

Amazing place. Wont even know how time flies here

(Translated by Google) Okay it is beautiful on the outside but inside it is very simple. (Original) Εντάξει είναι όμορφη εξωτερικά αλλά μέσα είναι πολύ απλή.

(Translated by Google) Too bad we have to pay to visit a church to see Chagall's stained glass windows. (Original) Dommage qu on doive payer pour visiter une église pour voir les vitraux de Chagall.

(Translated by Google) Old masonry. (Original) Altes Gemäuer.

Impressive place. Audioguide is good, but repeating certain things. Because of audioguide we took 1 hour to see everything. Vitrage is amazing. It was my second time in this place and I like it quite a lot mostly because of this vitrage.

Closed the day I visited but lovely courtyard area.

I visit this church whenever I'm visiting family in Zurich. It's not a huge space, but I love the peace, the fabulous Chagal windows and the history. I absolutely believe in the legend of its creation.

This is the church with Chagall windows that is highly recommended by locals. Too bad that Swiss Travel Pass isn’t eligible for the church. They only take Swiss card. The admission for visiting the church is 5 francs. No public toilets are available for general public based on the lady who is selling tickets.

If you like Chagall, then this is a must see. Other than that, this church is a beautiful document to Zürich's history. And if course, it is a place of peace, prayer, and meditation.

The church is located in the heart of the city, and it is a must-see destination for those interested in architecture and history. The church is known for its beautiful stained glass windows, including the famous Chagall windows, which are considered to be one of the most important artworks of the 20th century. The church also has a beautiful Romanesque architecture and an impressive organ. The church is open to the public, and there is a small entrance fee to visit the church, but it's definitely worth it.

It shure is worth a visit, even if manily for the Chagall windows. Everything else is just like most other churches, though the Crypta is somewhat special. Asking for an entrance fee seems a bit weird to me though, at least it is not overly expensive at CHF 5. The piazza in front is cool with a couple of Cafes araound

Church in Zürich which was built on the remains of a former abbey for aristocratic women which was founded in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard. He endowed the Benedictine convent with the lands of Zürich, Uri, and the Albis forest, and granted the convent immunity, placing it under his direct authority. Today, it belongs to the Evangelical Reformed Church of the canton of Zürich and is one of the four main churches of Zürich, the others being the Grossmünster, Prediger and St. Peter's churches.

If you are in Zurich, you must enter Fraumunster Church. The church has an amazing history and you have to take time to admire the beautiful windows painted by Marc Chagall which are absolutely stunning 😍 ✨️. You can see biblical scenes as a fairytale ✨️ and you also can admire old paintings 🥰.

This area was lovely. I didn't go inside the church but the outside area was worth it.

The church is decorated by Marc Chagall's large windows created in 1970 giving a special atmosphere to the place, especialy if you like fine art and paintings. Besides you can see here bautiful and large organs or you can visit a crypt in with Middle Ages basement.

Extremely over-looked which is good news for the few visitors willing to pay to get in. Audio guide is a must. Its austere German Reformation interiors contrasted by the vibrancy of Chagall’s dramatic windows is a religious experience, whatever your denomination or beliefs.

Definitely worth a visit. Get the audio guide, it explains so much about Zurich history and with the Chagall windows it’s the perfect place to sit down and listen which looking at the beautiful stain glass windows!

Ancient, beautiful church with hidden treasure: stained glass by Chagall.

Great place to spend a couple of hours and soak up some history. The audio guide is good and available in multiple languages. Unfortunately, they do not allow pictures inside so I cannot post pictures of the Chagall stained-glass but please take my word that it is beautiful.

A simple but beautiful Protestant church with a fascinating history and beautiful stained glass windows and a gorgeous pipe organ. Check their website to see when they have upcoming lunchtime organ concerts.

Extraordinary stained glass windows by Chagal and Giacometti. To have

Beautiful church inside and out! A must do in Zurich .. loads of options to eat in walking distance.. exploring this area is a doable in a days time in Zurich!

5 francs for adults 15 n under free. Amazing audio tour in multiple languages of church and reformation. Don’t miss the crypt are located to the left of the choir area.

Love the sound of the church bells ringing continuously on Sunday

a delightful place to be 14 JULY 2012

Beautiful Church

ミュンスター橋の西側にある美しい尖った塔が目立つ教会です。 マルク・シャガール(20世紀のロシア出身のフランスの画家)のステンドグラスが有名だとのことでしたが、フラウミュンスターは11Cの教会です。

Schade, dass eine Kirche Eintritt verlangt für eine - wunderschöne - Attraktion, die allerdings damals von Gönnern finanziert wurde. Aber das ist nun mal Zürich.

Schöne Kirche mit Chagall Fenster...

Besinnung Chagalfenster Musik 🎶

Beautiful church which was built on the remains of a former abbey for aristocratic women which was founded in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard.

(Translated by Google) A nice church ... It has made a nice contribution to the general silhouette of Zurich .. (Original) Hoş bir kilise... Zürih'in genel silüetine hoş bir katkısı olmuş..

Jednoduchý kostel, ale hezky vypadající.

Very beautiful place, river and city...

(Translated by Google) Because of the Chagall and Giacometti windows alone, this church is a place that you should definitely see when you are in St. Gallen. My personal recommendation is to let the windows sink in for several minutes and not just glimpse them. I also find it interesting how different the windows look at different times of the day, as they then have a light with different colors, e.g. let a few blue through. The windows are clearly the main attraction here, the rest I didn't find particularly interesting. (Original) Allein schon wegen den Chagall und Giacometti Fenstern ist diese Kirche ein Ort, den man sich unbedingt ansehen sollte, wenn man in St. Gallen ist. Meine persönliche Empfehlung ist es, die Fenster mehrere Minuten auf sich wirken zu lassen und nicht nur einen flüchtigen Blick auf sie zu werden. Auch finde ich es interessant, wie verschieden die Fenster an verschiedenen Tageszeiten aussehen, da sie dann ein Licht mit anderen Farben, z.B. wenige Blau durchlassen. Die Fenster sind hier eindeutig die Hauptattraktion, den Rest fand ich nicht besonders interessant.

(Translated by Google) Everyone comes for the Chagall windows, and the church is so very beautiful. (Original) Alle kommen wegen der Chagall Fenster, dabei ist die Kirche auch so sehr schön.

This is definitely the most interesting church in Zurich, best known for the stained glass windows of Marc Chagall and Augusto Giacometti. Admission is 5 francs.

(Translated by Google) As a student, admission is free :-) (Original) Als Student ist der Eintritt frei :-)

(Translated by Google) The Fraumünster is especially worth a visit because of the Chagall windows. Very nice and something different. The entrance fee is humane and not a rip-off as you often experience it. (Original) Vor allem wegen der Chagall-Fenster ist der Fraumünster einen Besuch wert. Sehr schön und mal was anderes. Der Eintrittspreis ist human und keine Abzocke wie man es sonst oft erlebt.

(Translated by Google) Basically due to the presence of Chagall's windows ... even if the architectural layout is very interesting. (Original) Sostanzialmente per la presenza delle vetrate di Chagall...anche se l'impianto architettonico è molto interessante.

(Translated by Google) Very nice. (Original) Sehr schön.

Really worth passing by and visiting if you are around !

Worth seeing. Do not miss it. It closses quite early. Either go in early morning or in late afternoon. Strained glass windows are worth seeing and you must go to the top via stairs. There is a seperate donation you need to give to go there and it's really worth going. Stairs are quite narrow, so not for people who feel a bit suffocated in closed spaces.

(Translated by Google) I like church architecture so this is great! We drove there and many more places the red car 😀. (Original) Jeg liker kirkearkitektur så dette er helt topp! Vi kjørte dit og mange flere steder den røde bilen 😀.

(Translated by Google) The Fraumünster church is very beautiful and the area invites you to linger. I always enjoy being here! (Original) Die Kirche Fraumünster ist sehr schön auch die Umgebung lädt zum verweilen ein. Ich wir sind immer wieder gerne hier!

(Translated by Google) The Fraumünster Church is a unique building in the Swiss Gothic style, it was reconstructed several times until the middle of the 20th century. The first mention of the temple, which is one of the four most important city churches in Zurich, dates back to 853, founded by King Louis of Germany for the divine service of his daughter Hildegard. The Fraumünster is the first church in the city of Zurich to house the largest organ in the canton of Zurich. (Original) Церковь Фраумюнстер - неповторимое здание в стиле Швейцарской готики, неоднократно реконструировалась до середины XX века. Первое упоминание храма входящего в четвёрку важнейших городских церквей Цюриха датирована 853 годом, основанная Королём Людовиком Немецким для богослужение его дочери Хильдегарды. Фраумюнстер - первая церковь города Цюриха, в которой был установлен крупнейший орган в кантоне Цюрих.

(Translated by Google) The Fraumünster is very beautiful and if you are in Zurich and have planned enough time, then you are welcome to visit it. For people who don't have much time in Zurich, however, in my opinion it is not necessarily worth a visit. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the interior because my cell phone broke that day. However, there are enough pictures here. It is really beautiful and well worth a visit. I took a pretty nice picture from the outside as I think. :) (Original) Die Fraumünster ist sehr schön und wenn man in Zürich ist und genug Zeit eingeplant hat, dann kann man es gerne besichtigen. Für Leute, die nicht viel Zeit in Zürich haben ist es aber meiner Meinung nach nicht zwingend einen Besuch wert. Leider habe ich keine Bilder von den innerlichen Räumlichkeiten, da mein Handy an dem Tag kaputt gegangen ist. Jedoch sind hier genug Bilder. Es ist wirklich sehr schön und einen Besuch wert. Ich hab hier mal wie ich finde ein ganz schönes Bild von außen geschossen. :)

(Translated by Google) Very nice place in one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland. Clean place of worship where it is pleasant to meditate and then continue on foot to the center of Zurich and enjoy a beautiful day (Original) Tres bel endroit dans l’une des plus belle ville de Suisse. Lieu de culte propre où il est agréable de se recueillir et poursuivre ensuite à pied au centre de Zurich et profiter d’une belle journée

(Translated by Google) It costs 5 francs, but it's definitely worth it. The glass windows are incredibly beautiful. (Original) Es kostet 5 Franken, aber es lohnt sich sicher. Die Glasfenster sind unglaublich schön.

Beautiful views from various angles.

Nice place, don't get why they charge 5f. There was not much there, also had construction work in the middle of the place. Was not happy

Is an experience to se Chagals windows. If you are into it, each window has a long story. Bad, that they charge to get in. A church should not charge

I never tire of stopping here to view the Chagall stained glass windows. What an accomplishment in the latter phase of his long career.

The Fraumunster church is quite bare and devoid of decorations. However the price of the ticket is not prohibitive, 5 CHF included audioguide, and masterpiece of Marc Chagall church windows justify the ticket and the visit. To be seen.

A classical reformist church, without excessive ornament decorations. The modern and contemporary tinted glass windows are the very unique feature and outstanding part of the church. It’s pity that photos are not allowed inside. The murals on the outside walls are very noticeable and worthy of your attention. A must to see place if you are in Zurich visiting.

The Chagall stained glass windows are well worth the five CHF price of admission. The front desk offers either a pamphlet or an audio tour of the grounds.

🔝 Worth visiting. Spend 30 mins and take also an audioguide, that is included in the ticket price. One of the best things to see in Zurich. Don't miss it.

A serene church with a tranquil aura is what Framunster Church is for me. Even though its famous for its stained glass windows, its the organ that amazed me. A soul soothing song 's been played all the time, when I was in there.

A unique symbol of Zurich. The church houses the works of two greatmasters. The stained glass windows by Alberto Giacometti and Marc Chagall is one of the best things to see in Zurich. Don't miss it.

Beautiful church but 5 frank for visit is too much in my opinion. The tour includes visiting a crypt but it's highly renovated so if you're looking for something kept in historical tone you won't get it here. Anyway, it was nice visit

Visit this church for its famous Chagall windows, but don't miss the impressive organ. The entry fee is 5 CHF per person (reduced prices for students and senior citizens). The price of admission includes a booklet (in English and German) and an audio guide.

One of the important landmark in Zurich. Located near river Limmat. Stained windows are the highlight of the church.

What a beautiful church +museum. A must visit if you have the 24/h/ 72/h Zürich card ( free entry)

Historic church at the heart of Zurich. Don't forget to check the crypt museum which details the history of the church from all the way back in 9th century!

A very very old church in the middle of the city to the side of the river. As other churches in Switzerland this one is also pretty modest. However fraumunster is definitely worth a visit since there are old ruins under the church which are brilliantly maintained and free to visit(for students).

Wasnt able to get inside but it already fascinated me just with the exteriors. Our tour guide was generous enough to share a few important highlights of this place

This is a beautiful church. Maybe it’s not one my top list(I think other evangelical congregations looks more plain and beautiful), but I think it has a sense of history which remind me of the Geneva bible and John Calvin, one of the Protestant revolution leader. They just stated fighting against the Roman Catholic Church because they made a fortune in a deceitful way. I think this church might represents a purity and simplicity in life which fully expresses the value of presbyterian. In conclusion, I think this is a good historical heritage to visit.
