    It took a long time for this structure, which dates back to approximately the 7th or 8th century, to take its current form. The first thing that attracts attention in the building, where both Gothic and Classical themes can be seen, are the paintings engraved on the walls. These pictures describe events in the Bible. Also, the processing of colored glass is absolutely perfect. The magnificence of the organ in the church is also worth seeing. If you visit here one day, let it be a day when hymns are sung. It's generally very quiet inside. As soon as you step in, you will encounter an atmosphere that breathes peace into your face. Just sit on one of the benches and watch the surroundings for a long time. In the meantime, think about your life and ask yourself questions about your purpose for being in this world. Then you can get up and explore the surroundings in detail. The outside of the church is also worth seeing. The presence of two high bell towers adds a completely different aesthetic to this sublime place. Located in the heart of Winterthur's old centre, it is about a five-minute walk from the train station. If you leave Winterthur without seeing this church, you will regret it.

    The church is beautiful, there was a concert when we arrived and it was very nice. The place is very interesting inside due to its design and drawings but the church is small inside as it looks from the outside.

    Church with modern frescoes and paintings, but with very nice architecture. The acoustics are excellent (we went in during rehearsals for a concert).

    Beautiful church, very interesting historically, great views from the towers, and there is also a lot to see in the catacombs. Thank you @Kristian for the great tour

    (Translated by Google) Very impressive reformed church!! The ascent to the north tower is worthwhile, even if the ascent is very narrow...you should be free from giddiness to be able to enjoy the view. (Original) Sehr eindrucksvolle reformierte Kirche!! Den Aufstieg zum Nordturm lohnt sich, auch wenn der Aufstieg sehr eng ist...man sollte schwindelfrei sein um die Aussicht geniessen zu können.

    Opened the doors to this church and a delightful surprise awaited me. The art and frescos were so unexpected and absolutely beautiful. Gothic architecture and modern-ish biblical scenes inside!

    Inside, all walls are painted with Biblical scenes. All windows are also made of beautiful stained glass. There are two organs, a "small one" in the nave and a large one above the main entrance. Concerts are also given, which can be attended for free.

    (Translated by Google) The decoration of the city is the Reformed Church. Unfortunately there was a driveway in the evening and it was already closed. (Original) Окрасою міста є реформаторський костел. Нажаль були у вечорі проїздом і він був вже закритий.
