Église Saint-Germain, Gothic church in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.
The Saint-Germain Church features a 15th-century Gothic architecture with a bell tower containing three bells of different sizes and weights, cast in different periods.
The original structure from the 9th century underwent multiple transformations, including serving as a butcher's shop from 1537 to 1554 before returning to religious purposes.
The church holds outdoor classical music concerts every summer since 1973, continuing a tradition of bringing musical performances to the local community.
Located at Rue des Granges 13 in Geneva, the church maintains regular visiting hours and stands near several bookstores and Le Poche theater.
A morning-specific sundial installed in 1908 displays death riding a donkey under the sun, representing the passage of time on the sacristy wall.
