Water Church/Helmhaus, Switzerland

Displayed:   times.

According to legend, the Wasserkirche was built on the execution site of Felix and Regula, Zürich's patron saints. It originates from the late gothic period, and, like the city's other churches, it was robbed of its treasures during the Reformation. The open cloister on the ground floor of the Helmhaus was previously used as a courtroom and covered market but now functions as an exhibition space for young artists. Limmatquai 31, 8002 Zürich
