Fraumünster, Protestant church in Old Town, Zurich, Switzerland.
The Fraumünster church displays Gothic architectural elements with a prominent Romanesque chancel and high vaulted transept overlooking the Münsterhof square.
Founded in 853 by King Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard, the church's abbey held the right to mint coins until the thirteenth century.
Five large stained glass windows created by Marc Chagall in 1970 illustrate Biblical stories through different color schemes in the church's choir.
The church opens from March to October between 10 am and 6 pm, and from November to February between 10 am and 5 pm, with entry fees of 5 CHF.
The church organ contains 6,959 pipes, making it the largest instrument of its kind in the canton of Zurich.
