Church and castle tower, Medieval church and fortified tower in Niedergösgen, Switzerland.
The building combines a Catholic church with a fortified tower, featuring neo-gothic architectural elements and two prominent towers with pointed arches.
The original Franciscan church from 1600 was replaced between 1902 and 1907 due to structural issues, incorporating the preserved medieval fortified tower.
The church maintains Swiss Catholic traditions through regular services and celebrates the feast of St Anthony annually on the Sunday following June 13th.
The building provides wheelchair access and stands as part of the cultural property collection of Niedergösgen, open for religious services and visits.
During the 1902 construction, workers reported encounters with a large serpent that disappeared after prayers to St Anthony were made.
