St. Jakob church, Protected church building in Zürich, Switzerland
The St. Jakob church features German Neo-Renaissance architecture with quarry stone walls, high Renaissance gables, and an 86-meter-high tower dominating the landscape.
Built between 1899 and 1901 after an international competition, the church replaced an 11th-century chapel that served as a sick-house outside Zürich.
The interior configuration with 1,400 seats, barrel vault, and centrally positioned pulpit reflects the emphasis on Reformed Protestant worship practices.
Regular services occur every Sunday, while organ performances take place on the first Tuesday of each month for visitors and congregation members.
Until the mid-20th century, St. Jakob church maintained status as the largest Protestant parish in Switzerland, highlighting its regional influence.
