St. Meinrad, Religious building in Freienbach, Switzerland

St. Meinrad is a Roman Catholic church on the Mühelmatte rise in the centre of Pfäffikon, built 1963–1965 to a design by Zurich architect Walter Moser. The church is a cubic concrete structure clad in glazed white porcelain tiles, with a rounded eastern corner forming the choir wall. A free-standing 35-metre tower of white-painted concrete carries a gilded Greek cross and a clock on each of its four sides.

The Kirchenbauverein Pfäffikon, founded in 1927, pushed for a church of the village's own; the population doubled between 1950 and 1970, reaching 1,700 Catholics. Einsiedeln Monastery sold the Mühlematte plot in 1958, Walter Moser's design won the 1962 competition, and the first sod was turned on 7 December 1963. Abbot Raymund Tschudi laid the foundation stone in 1964; Bishop Johannes Vonderach consecrated the church on 31 October 1965.

The church is dedicated to St. Meinrad, the hermit who lived on the Etzel Pass before withdrawing into the "dark forest" where Einsiedeln Abbey later arose. The St. Meinrad Chapel on the Etzel Pass marks the site of his hermitage. The parish rectory of St. Meinrad today counts about 3,900 members.

The church sits near Pfäffikon railway station, making it convenient to reach by public transport. Regular services offer visitors the chance to experience the interior and get a sense of how the space is used by the community.

The Trinity Bell, cast in 1965 by H. Rüetschi of Aarau, sounds the note G-flat and ranks among the largest bells in Switzerland. The five larger bells were donated by the Korporation Pfäffikon, the smallest by the Blauring girls' association. The abbot of Einsiedeln consecrated the six-bell peal on the Feast of the Assumption in 1965.
