    The Minster impresses with its imposing façade and the highest church tower in Switzerland, which reaches a height of 100.6 meters. Particularly noteworthy is the main portal of the Minster, which shows the Last Judgement with over 200 figures. These figures are artfully designed and a true masterpiece of medieval art.
