The Fraumünster Church is one of the oldest and most important churches in Switzerland. It is one of the four major churches of Zurich. Located in Limmat, the church is one of the most prominent landmarks in Zurich with its green steeple.
The church was built as part of the convent of aristocratic women that was formed by Louis the German for his daughter in 835.
