    The Predigerkirche (Preacher's Church) is a Reformed church in the Old Town of Zürich, Switzerland. It is located on the Münsterhof square and is one of the city's main landmarks. The church was built in the 13th century and has undergone several renovations and expansions over the centuries. It is known for its distinctive red sandstone façade, which is decorated with intricate carvings and sculptures. The interior of the church features a Gothic nave, a Baroque chancel, and a stained glass window by Marc Chagall. The Predigerkirche is a popular tourist attraction and is also used for regular worship services.

    We happened to be going by just as bells were ringing for midday prayers, so we went in. It was a lovely, 20-minute still point in the day, with some songs and prayers and a Bible reading and reflection. When it was all over the other ladies just got up and left - I was a little surprised no one spoke to us, but we looked around the church a bit instead. A very quiet and welcoming place.

    One of the four main churches of Zürich. First built in 1231 AD as a Romanesque church of the then Dominican Predigerkloster, it was converted in the first half of 14th century. Its unusually high bell tower is regarded as the highest Gothic edifice in Zürich.

    The "Predigerkirche" in Zurich is an import architectural building dating back to the 13th. Century. With a beautiful exterior and a simple and austere interior is a must visit while in Zurich. It is currently used as a cultural hall.

  • 5/5 Walter S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A simple, beautiful Ref. Church, which is very "open"! Many eekum services are held here. On January 1, 2019, the service for the New Year took place at 5 p.m. The topic was: The star. Rev. von Ballmoos very impressively conveyed her (her) thoughts to the community! I have to say: This service was the finest! Friday Vespers will take place at 6.30 p.m.! The liturgy is held alternately Catholic / Reformed. During the week: Mon-Fri: Free ecumenical pastoral care. (Original) Eine schlichte, schöne Ref. Kirche ,welche sich sehr "offen" gibt! Viele Oekum.Gottesdienste werden hier abgehalten.Am 1.Jan.2019 fand der Gottesdienst zum Neuen Jahr um 17.00 Uhr statt.Das Thema war: Der Stern. Sehr eindrücklich überbrachte Pfrn.von Ballmoos die(Ihre) Gedanken an die Gemeinde! Ich muss sagen: Dieser Gottesdienst war etwas vom feinsten! Am Freitag findet jeweils die Freitag-Vesper um 18.30 Uhr statt! Die Liturgie wird abwechselnd Katholisch/Reformiert gehalten. Unter der Woche: Mo-Fr: Kostenlose ökumenische Seelsorge.

    Predigerkirche is one of the four main churches of the old town of Zürich, Switzerland, besides Fraumünster, Grossmünster and St. Peter. First built in 1231 AD as a Romanesque church of the then Dominican Predigerkloster, the Basilica was converted in the first half of the 14th century, the choir between 1308 and 1350 rebuilt, and a for that time unusual high bell tower was built, regarded as the highest Gothic edifice in Zürich.

    (Translated by Google) Predigerkirche is a large church in this city. Admission is not paid. But inside it's quite common and so it's not much to watch. (Original) Predigerkirche je veľký kostol v tomto meste. Vstupné sa neplatí. Vo vnútri je to ale úplne obyčajné a tak to nie je veľmi čo pozerať.

    (Translated by Google) Looking toward Lake Zurich on the upper Limmat from the Mülestech Bridge, you will see two tall tower churches on your right. This is Fraumünster and St. Peter's Church. Looking to the left, there was a church with a spire similar to Fraumünster in the immediate vicinity. This was this Protestant church. (Original) ミューレステク橋からリマト川上流のチューリッヒ湖方面を見ると正面右手に高い塔の教会が2つ見えます。 これはフラウミュンスターと聖ペーター教会です。 左を見るとすぐ近くにフラウミュンスターと同じような尖塔の教会がありました。 これがこのプロテスタント教会だった。
