Introduction

The Jesuit Church overlooking the Louis River and facing the city hall was built from 1666 to 1673 to commemorate St. Franz Xaver. The altar inside the church is decorated with red marble and was completed in 1681. This is the first baroque style religious building in Switzerland, with two striking arch decorations on the exterior walls completed in the mid-18th century. Brother Klaus was the earliest donor to this church and was buried inside after his death.
