Reformierte Kirche Oberstrass, Reformed church in Oberstrass district, Zürich, Switzerland.
The Reformed Church Oberstrass is a church building in the Zürichberg area located at Stapferstrasse 58 that stands out for its notable height. The structure combines traditional design with modern elements and sits on grounds overlooking the slopes of Zürichberg.
The church developed in earlier times as a center of Reformed faith in this Zürich neighborhood. A major fire destroyed the main nave in 2000, but extensive restoration work preserved the structure and its character for future generations.
The name reflects the Oberstrass neighborhood where it has long served community life. The stained glass windows by Joseph von Moos, Walter Jäggli-Fröhlich and Georg Röttinger show musical scenes and create a warm feeling inside that visitors notice right away.
The church opens during daytime hours on weekdays and welcomes visitors during these times. Those interested in hearing the musical instruments should check for upcoming events, as concerts happen regularly there.
The interior houses a rare combination of a 12-register Trost pipe organ and a modern electronic Allen organ system. This blend of traditional and digital musical instrumentation is particularly noteworthy for visitors interested in church music.
