These were really the defining feature of the church and clearly what most tourists went to see. No photos allowed, but they do sell prints and postcards inside. More

This is a must to visit. The stained windows are by Chagall and really beautiful. Across the square is the lovely house with its balcony where Winston Churchill gave an address towards the end of World War 2. The bridge over the nearby river has wonderful views and photo ops. More

A visit to Zurich is not complete without a visit to the Fraumunster's spectacular Chagall Windows. The chapel is bathed in a rainbow of light from these magnificent windows. Morning is best with the sun back lighting the windows. More

The 5 windows designed by Chagall are a must see! They were the highlight of my trip to Zurich! There is also a beautiful window designed by Giacometti. More

It is worth a short visit if you are in town. Not many churches around the world can offer such colorful and animated windows! More
