The Hofkirche, originally a Romanesque building, is the sacred center of the monastery of St. Leodegar im Hof and the mother church of the town's population. The façade, the Maria end altar (relief panel from around 1500) and the soul altar are particularly worth seeing.

The Church played an important role in the Counter-Reformation. Lucerne was the suburb of the Catholic cantons and the residence of the papal nuncio. St. Leodegar was used as his cathedral.
