Stadtpfarrkirche Rapperswil, Medieval parish church in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland

The Stadtpfarrkirche Rapperswil features two church towers, with the northern tower dating from the original construction and the southern tower added in 1441.

Initially constructed in 1220, the church underwent substantial rebuilding from 1882 to 1885 following a devastating fire that damaged parts of the structure in 1881.

The church maintains a collection of preserved artworks and precious metalwork crafted by goldsmiths from the Linth territory throughout different periods.

The parish serves approximately 3,900 members of the Catholic community in Rapperswil-Jona, providing regular services and religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The building incorporates both Romanesque hall architecture and neo-Gothic elements, added during renovations supervised by art historian Johann Rudolf Rahn.
