St. Peter and Paul Church, Catholic church on Ufenau Island, Switzerland
The church features a single-nave Romanesque design with a chancel tower, traditional Swiss gabled roof, and round-arched double windows illuminating the interior.
Built in 1141 on foundations from a 10th-century predecessor, the structure stands upon the site of a Gallo-Roman temple dating to the 1st century.
The church contains Gothic wooden statues of apostolic princes and wall paintings depicting the martyrdom of apostles from different historical periods.
Visitors reach the church via ferry service to Ufenau Island from Pfäffikon, with regular boats operating during daytime hours throughout the year.
The entrance portal incorporates a 10th-century door lintel with original ornamentation and houses the gravestone of German reformer Ulrich von Hutten from 1523.
