St. Peter's Church, Zurich

 

The only baroque church in Zurich, St. Peter's Church is also the oldest in the city. Dating from the 9th century, the clock on the bell tower is also the largest in Europe. 

The dial is 8.7 meters in diameter and the five bells, the largest of which alone weighs 6,000 kilos not including the clapper, make it a must-see.
