St. Peter und Paul, Gothic Revival church in Zürich, Switzerland

St. Peter und Paul is a church designed in Gothic Revival style, marked by pointed arches, vertical lines, and ornamental details throughout its structure. These architectural features shape the appearance of the interior spaces and demonstrate the building's stylistic direction.

St. Peter and Paul was built in 1873–1874 under master builder Rudolf Gottlieb Gull as a plain hall church for the Roman Catholic minority who had lost the Augustinerkirche to the Christian Catholic movement in 1873. It was consecrated in 1885 by Chur bishop Franz Konstantin Rampa. In 1895 Alfred Chiodera and Theophil Tschudy added the front extension and the 60-metre neo-Gothic tower, Aussersihl's first church tower.

The church is the mother church of Catholic Zurich. Pope Pius IX gave the parish a large twin monstrance from the former treasury of Muri Abbey. The neo-Gothic high altar of 1884 was paid for by donations from the faithful, and the two side altars were made in 1875 by the Müller brothers of Wil SG.

The church is centrally located in Zurich and is easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors should note that it is an active place of worship, so there are specific times when visits are possible.

The 60-metre tower, added in 1895 by Alfred Chiodera and Theophil Tschudy, was the first church tower in all of Aussersihl. It prompted the neighbouring Reformed St. Jakob parish to build its own tower fifteen metres taller five years later.
