See the stained glass at Fraumünster

Fraumünster brings together Zurich’s medieval religious history and some of its most memorable modern art. The church’s stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall and Augusto Giacometti reward slow looking, with colour and light transforming the atmosphere around the chancel and transepts. Its origins as an influential convent add depth to what might otherwise feel like a brief architectural stop. Combine the interior with a walk around Münsterhof to understand its place in the Old Town.
