The Karl Tower, Grossmünster
|
|
|
The Karlsturm (Charles Tower) is one of the two towers of Zürich’s landmark, the Grossmünster Church. The Grossmünster Church is a former monastery built on the graves of the city’s patron saints Felix and Regula and is the site of the first secondary school, which, according to legend, was founded by Charlemagne. His statue stands on top of the south tower, the Karlsturm (Charles Tower). Climb up the 184 stairs from the nave and enjoy splendid views from the panorama platform over the old town and the lake.
