Obere Kirche, Romanesque church in Regensdorf, Switzerland.
The Obere Kirche features thick walls made of uncut pebbles and maintains an exact east-west orientation with an almost square interior layout.
The church dates back to the 12th century when the Barons of Regensberg selected an undeveloped land near their castle to construct their religious building.
The church walls contain fragmentary Romanesque paintings from the 12th century depicting scenes of the Three Kings and the Crucifixion of Christ.
After extensive restoration work between 1953 and 1955, the church reopened for religious services on May 13, 1956 and continues to host various church events.
The structure underwent transformation into a warehouse after 1543, with modifications to the main entrance to accommodate barrel storage through wider doorways.
