The Fraumünster

Nuns, Iconoclasm, and Chagall Windows

During this tour you will get to know the Fraumünster from another perspective and discover exciting details about its history. For instance that a deer is said to have determined the location of the Fraumünster abbey. Or do you happen to know, why the Heaton window behind the large organ is partially covered? Maybe you're also interested to learn more about the traces of history observed in the crypt or the room of silence or perhaps how long the smallest organ pipe is?

Duration: 60 minutes
