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.

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.

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.
