I met Charlemagne today down in the early 12thC crypt in the Grossmunster in Zurich. The statue is 15thC and very impressive in size. He looks a bit menacing, to be honest #charlemagne #holyromanemperor #grossmunster #zurich
Enormous statue of Charlemagne lurking in the crypt of the Grossmunster in Zurich, which he reputedly founded. Statue dates to 1450-1475 & originally displayed on one of the church’s towers. Due to concerns about weathering, moved inside & replaced by a replica #charlemagne #zurich #grossmunster
Zurich’s Grossmunster, reputedly founded by Charlemagne. Current church Romanesque, from c1100. Ulrich Zwingli preached Swiss-German Reformation here in 1520s. Church stripped of furnishings & paintings whitewashed, but some pre-Reformation paintwork found #zurich #grossmunster
Scenic daytime view of the Grossmünster church with its twin towers rising above historic buildings in Zurich, Switzerland, as crowds gather along the Limmat River under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
