Münsterkirche

Over deze plek

The former Benedictine abbey of Allerheiligen, with the abbey church consecrated around 1106 and the Münster tower from the second half of the 12th century, is one of the few well-preserved Romanesque monastic complexes in Switzerland. Around 1090, the foundation walls were laid for a large, five-aisled Münster. However, construction stopped at the foundations and the present Münster was built in its place. The Münster tower was erected around 1150, and the tower roof is Late Gothic. In 1524, the Benedictine abbey was dissolved and the Münster became a parish church. Today, the Münster is a place of worship for the Evangelical Reformed parish of Schaffhausen-Münster and also serves as a concert church.
