Besides the Cathedral, this is the city's most important church. It is a Protestant church. The present building dates back to the 15th century, but it was entirely reconstructed from 1850 to 1854 (according to the design of the Swiss poet, architect and author, Johann G. Müller) and now is a basilica in neo-Gothic style. The bell tower is open and may be climbed, to see views of the city.
