St. Oswald, Zug, Gothic church in Zug, Switzerland
The three-aisled basilica of St. Oswald features a main facade with a decorated double portal displaying five saint figures under stone canopies.
Construction of St. Oswald began in 1478 under master builder Hans Felder, transforming from a single-nave structure into a substantial late Gothic church by 1545.
The interior walls contain nineteenth-century decorations, including a painted Last Judgment on the chorbogen created by Melchior Paul Deschwanden in Gothic Neorenaissance style.
The church stands in the outer section of the old town at Sankt-Oswalds-Gasse 5, near the former city cemetery and the Mariahilf chapel.
St. Oswald houses two distinct organs: a main instrument from 1972 replicating a 1762 baroque design, and a separate choir organ built in 2001.
