A little history

Its late-Romanesque tower (c. 1230, raised c. 1450) carries the largest church clock faces in Europe: each dial is 8.64 m across, and the minute hand alone is almost 6 m long.

The bright baroque nave was rebuilt in just 17 months and consecrated in 1706, the first church built in Zurich after the Reformation.

The booklet opens with the full story: key dates, what to look for and where to find it.

Visiting the St. Peter

Address
St.-Peter-Hofstatt, 8001 Zürich
Getting there
About seven minutes on foot from Zürich HB, or a short walk from the Rennweg or Paradeplatz tram stops.
Insider tip
Walk up to the Lindenhof, a few steps away, for a view over the river to the Grossmünster. Then come back down to see the clock face up close from the quiet square. Check current opening hours before you visit the inside.
