Jesuitenkirche Luzern

During our day long tour of Lucerne, our guide brought us here. This beautiful Jesuit Church is located on the left side if River Reuss, 5 minutes walk from station. It was first Baroque church in Switzerland built in 17th century. The interior was grand with a lot of colorful paintings. Beside religious services, this place is also used for concerts. It is one of the most visited places in Lucerne. The ambiance inside was very calm and serene. The entry is free.

The Jesuit Church in Luzern was built in 1677 in the Baroque style. Its plan follows the Jesuit single-nave model, designed to focus attention on preaching and the high altar, with shallow side chapels instead of aisles. The interior is marked by rich stucco work, strong axial symmetry, and abundant light to emphasize the altar and vaulting; Rococo decorative elements were added later. The exterior remains relatively restrained but is distinguished by its twin onion-domed towers, added slightly later, which give the church its prominent riverfront silhouette along the Reuss.

Amazing! Just everywhere you look is perfect! I am in awe- One of the best Churches I have been to in Europe.

A Catholic Church along the river Reuss, built in a beautiful baroque style. For its fine acoustics, it also serves as a concert venue. Definitely worth a stop.

Just a beautiful church inside and out definitely take time to go in and relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the church. There’s a unique contrast between the white black and gold that exists in the church that makes things pop.

I want to go inside this church too, but the door is closed, and I have no time left, have to go quickly. This is the pictures that I took from the distance, I will come again next time, see you.

Amazing, beautiful. Breathtaking the altar is stunning. I was at mass, and my heart was really joyfully. Even mass was in German, and I don't speak any German

Impressive church, the church of the Jesuits, which was built from 1666 to 1677. It represents the peak of the construction activity of the Jesuits in Lucerne.The Jesuit Church in Lucerne was the first large Baroque church in Switzerland. The shell was completed in 1669. The painter Domenico Torriani created the painting of the main altar. The church was renovated in the 1950s and more extensively in the 1970s. The most recent renovation was completed in January 2017. The church is important above all because of its rich furnishings.
