This church on an island in the Limmat once marked a sacred pagan site.
More About Wasserkirche
Wasserkirche is uniquely situated on a former island in the Limmat River, historically a site of pagan worship before becoming a Christian church. The current late Gothic structure dates back to the 15th century, with its architecture reflecting the transitional period between medieval and modern times. Today, it serves as a cultural venue, hosting lectures and events. The Helmhaus gallery next door complements the visit with contemporary art exhibitions.
