Description

Devout creatures, cheeky faces Whether sad, contorted, bound, hunted, voracious or constantly in the air – there are animals in the Grossmünster. Many are static, decorating a column or rarely a window. Only a few are lively and high up. But most tell of devout life. Church mice? Pulpit swallows? More like Sigmar Polke's ram or Karl the Great's horse. We take a walk through the cloister and the church. Immerse yourself in the world of animals created by stone and glass artists and enjoy the imagination spanning eight centuries. Meeting point: Main portal Grossmünster Buy tickets
