Fraumunster Church

The Notre Dame Church stands on the west bank of the Limmat River. The green spire is very eye-catching, and the stained glass windows designed by the famous painter Marc Chagall are also very iconic. The Church of Our Lady was built in the middle of the 9th century. The Germanic King Rudolf II built it in the name of a women's monastery. It was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 12th-15th centuries, and the bell tower was built after 1732. In addition to the iconic green spire, the interior of the Church of Our Lady is not to be missed. On the left side of the church entrance, you will see an elegant stained glass that is different from other churches. This is a work by Marc Chagall in 1970, which depicts Christ with a unique brushstroke. The glass on the north promenade on the right side of the entrance is by Giacometti. The fresco decoration of the cloister on the south side is a hand-painted work by Paul Podma on the theme of the founding of the church.
