Münster Schaffhausen, Romanesque church in Schaffhausen, Switzerland
The Münster Schaffhausen features twin towers flanking the main entrance, with solid walls, semi-circular arches, and groin vaults exemplifying Romanesque construction techniques.
The church construction began in 1049 and received consecration from Pope Leo IX, with final completion of the building achieved in 1064.
The structure belongs to the former Benedictine Kloster Allerheiligen complex and transformed into a Reformed Church in 1524, marking significant religious changes in Schaffhausen.
Located in the center of Schaffhausen's old town, the Münster serves as an active church with regular services and maintains over 3,700 registered members.
The church received its first pipe organ in the 15th century, but religious reforms delayed the installation of a new instrument until 1879.
