Tips from the Community

Hans Zemp
April 24, 2026, St. Ottilien Chapel

The St. Ottilien Chapel, with its cruciform floor plan, is one of the most extraordinary Baroque church buildings in Switzerland. In 1572, a brotherhood was founded for its maintenance. Excavations uncovered foundations from the Middle Ages. In 1669, Hans Thüring Feer had a new building erected by Jost Melchior Zur Gilgen. Further information at: Wikipedia.org. The above data also originates from there. HZ.

Not sought, not known, discovered by chance: stop on the Swiss part of the St. Jakob Pilgerweg from Konstanz to Geneva. It is to Santiago de Compostela
