Bülach, Protected historic municipality in Zürich Canton, Switzerland
Bülach is a municipality near Zürich that combines residential neighborhoods with agricultural land and forests. The old town center with its streets and church forms the heart, while development spreads outward into quieter areas.
The first written record dates to the early Middle Ages when the area lay under Alamanni influence. Over centuries, the region became an important administrative center for the wider area.
The Reformed Church of Saint Laurentius shapes the town center with its architectural presence and role as a community gathering place. Local art exhibitions in the Sigristenkeller reflect the creative life of the residents.
The railway station connects directly to Zürich and the airport through regular train services. Bus stops in the center make it easy to move around town and reach neighboring areas.
Musicians regularly play from the church tower, with melodies echoing through the streets below. This long-held tradition creates unexpected musical moments that blend with everyday life.
