Stadtkirche Glarus, Reformed church in Glarus, Switzerland
The Reformed Church of Glarus features a grand central nave, twin towers, and rounded arches characteristic of Romanesque Revival architecture.
Following the catastrophic fire of 1861 that destroyed most of Glarus, architect Ferdinand Stadler designed this church, completed in 1866.
Until 1964, this church served both Protestant and Catholic congregations, demonstrating religious cooperation within the Swiss community.
The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors daily, with guided tours available through the church office in central Glarus.
The church received the Europa Nostra medal in 2001 for its meticulous restoration work completed between 1995 and 1999.
