Stadtkirche Winterthur, Reformed church in Winterthur, Switzerland
The Stadtkirche Winterthur stands with its double tower design in the center of the old town, featuring gothic architectural elements and stone sculptures.
Archaeological findings from 1980 to 1983 revealed foundations of seven predecessor buildings, with the earliest wooden and stone churches dating to the 7th century.
The church underwent transformation during the Reformation period, when liturgical objects were sold or melted, marking its conversion from Catholic to Protestant faith.
Visitors can climb 208 steps to the north tower platform for city views, with guided tours available in German, English, and French upon request.
The church contains unusual wall paintings completed in 1930 by Paul Zehnder, which are rare features for Reformed churches.
