Fraumünster ChurchOf the church spires that characterise Zurich's skyline, the
thin blue spire of Fraumünster is the most graceful. Overlooking
the historic old square of Münsterhof, the former pig market, the
church was founded in 853 and its convent inhabited by German
noblewomen until the 13th century. Important architectural features
include the Romanesque choir and the enormous elaborate organ, but
its chief attractions are the five beautiful stained glass windows
designed by the 83-year-old Marc Chagall in 1970. Address: Am Münsterhofplatz Website: www.fraumuenster.ch Telephone: 044 211 4100 Transportation: Tram 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13 to Paradeplatz Opening Time: Monday to Saturday 9am-12pm, 2-6pm, Sunday 2-6pm (May
