Best Fraumuenster Church Tours & Trips

Across the river from Grossmunster Church in Zurich, Fraumunster is marked by its clock tower and slender blue spire. Around 1250, it was built on a convent that had been founded here in 853, but it still has the original crypt. The church, which overlooks Munsterhof square, is best known for its artwork. Renovated in the 20th century, it received modern frescoes depicting the founding of Fraumunster, and Giacometti designed a large stained glass window in the 1940s. Still, most visit the church for its magnificent windows designed by Marc Chagall, which are best viewed in bright morning sunlight.
