Church St. Marien, Catholic church in Oberwinterthur, Switzerland.

Description

St. Marien Church in Winterthur is a modern house of worship featuring contemporary architecture with clean lines and functional design. Inside, it contains a simple people's altar, a choir gallery with a 19-register Kuhn organ, and spaces for the parish community.

History

The building was constructed between 1935 and 1936 according to designs by architect Albert Otto Linder and received its consecration in 1957. Major renovations in 1976 updated its interior to reflect new liturgical requirements of the church.

Culture

The church serves as a gathering place for the local Catholic community in the Oberwinterthur neighborhood, shaping parish life through regular events and meetings. It embodies modern Catholic faith expressed through contemporary architectural design.

Practical

The church is accessible to visitors during worship services and offers clear views of its interior layout from the entrance. Note that parking is limited in the immediate area, and visiting outside of service times allows for quieter exploration.

Did you know?

The church bells were cast in 1957 by the Karl Czudnochowsky foundry and together weigh about 7.100 kilograms. They are tuned in harmony with the nearby Reformed Church bells, creating a distinctive sound over the neighborhood.
