Pfarrkirche St. Martin, Catholic parish church in Schwyz, Switzerland
The St. Martin Church displays a monumental facade facing the main square, with large arched windows and four side portals in the exterior walls.
The current structure, completed in 1774, stands on foundations dating to the 8th century, where six previous churches were built at the same location.
The church bell tower contains six bells, with five cast by Jost Rüttimann and the main bell dating from 1773, ringing for religious ceremonies.
The church measures 36 by 22 meters in the nave, features a 29-meter-wide transept, and the tower reaches 63.5 meters to its pinnacle.
The church includes a separate bone house called Kerchel, constructed between 1518 and 1520, which served as both an ossuary and chapel.
