We will take you on a journey through the history of one of Zürich’s hidden, oldest churches. Underneath the church we will visit the crypt and tell you the tale of Zürich’s patron saints who, according to legend, died here defending their faith. We will give you insights on the church’s remarkably colourful history, including the period it served as Zürich’s first library and museum.
​
You will see in the church the current, unique Noah’s ark exhibition – the beautifully crafted wooden ark will be the location for many events until the end of October.
​
The ark’s construction has the added advantage of providing you with unique access to a close-up view of the church windows, by the famous Swiss artist, Augusto Giacometti.
