Lazariterkirche Gfenn, Romanesque church in Gfenn, Dübendorf, Switzerland

The Lazariterkirche features a rectangular nave with a retracted square choir and three round arch doors on its medieval stone walls.

Built in the 13th century, the church belonged to the Order of Lazarus, where members operated a leprosy hospital for the local community.

Medieval paintings on the north wall of the nave display fragments of a Passion cycle, including scenes of Christ's flagellation with crown of thorns.

The church hosts regular weddings and concerts, while two restored buildings from 1828 near the site provide spaces for public gatherings.

Three round-arched windows illuminate the northern wall, and a high entrance connected to the former convent building through a bridge structure.
