Reformierte Kirche Regensdorf, Reformed church building in Regensdorf, Switzerland
The Reformed Church Regensdorf is a church building with a tall tower and a late Gothic sacramental house on its exterior wall. Three neo-Gothic windows with stained glass decorate the interior.
First mentioned in 1280, the church took its present form in 1704 using stones from the ruins of Alt-Regensberg Castle and tiles from Zürich. The reconstruction shows the regional connections of that period.
The church's name recalls the two medieval parishes of Niederregensdorf and Oberregensdorf, united in 1529 into one Reformed parish. The smaller of its two pre-Reformation bells carries a Marian inscription that was left in place after the Reformation, and a fountain behind the church, the Grossweiler-Brunnen, was set up in 1952 in honour of donor Giacomo Gossweiler.
The church is located at Watterstrasse 23 and welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architectural details. Regular services take place, so it is best to check ahead whether the building is open.
Above the main entrance sits a coat of arms relief from 1705 displaying the emblems of three influential figures of that time. This stone documents the power structures and important individuals who shaped the region in the early 18th century.
