About

St. Peter's Church, one of Zurich’s oldest and most architecturally striking churches, was renovated after four years of restoration and reopened to the public on 1 November 2025. The church combines Baroque splendour with a modern interior that hosts lively services, concerts, and educational programmes. Visitors can explore the grand nave, the famous Glockenturm with Europe’s largest clock dial, and the adjoining Lavaterhaus, which houses a library and a collection of Johann Caspar Lavater’s manuscripts. Whether attending a traditional Sunday service at 10 am, a guided tower visit, or a free quiet reflection, St. Peter offers a serene place of worship and cultural discovery for families, history enthusiasts, and music lovers alike.
