Franziskanerkirche

  Franziskanerplatz     more than a year ago
This church was built as part of the Franciscan monastery from the 13th century onwards. The orginally Gothic construction contains a richly carved wooden pulpit from the Renaissance and Baroque altars. The row of flags painted on the interior wall above the arches shows the heraldic flags the local soldiers captured when they defeated Habsburg knights in the Battle of Sempach in 1386 - later to become part of the legend of the creation of Switzerland.
