Zürich can be cripplingly expensive, but one thing you can do for free is play - or watch - chess outdoors at a number of venues in the city. This one is at the Lindenhof. Straßenschach can also be a great locus for people watching, and photography too!

The Augustinerkirche in Zürich, located at the south-west of the Münzplatz in the Lindenhof area of the city centre. It is now home to the Old Catholic congregation in the centre of the city.

It was originally one of the five main churches in the old town of Zürich, together with the Fraumünster, Grossmünster, Predigerkirche and St Peter’s.

First built around 1270 as a Romanesque church belonging to the Augustinian abbey, worship in the church was discontinued at the Reformation. The church was rebuilt by Ferdinand Stadler for the Roman Catholic community of the city in 1843-4, a growing minority at the time. The majority of Zürich’s Catholics, however, rejected the decisions of the First Vatican Council of 1870, and consequently the whole community was excommunicated. The Augustinerkirche remains an Old Catholic congregation to this day.

In 1958-9, the church was rebuilt by Max Kopp in accordance with the original and more ambitious plans and with the Gothic Revival elements removed, leading to a much starker modernist aesthetic, a combination which I find very interesting. The rood, font, and altar were designed by local sculptor Franz Fischer in 1958-9, and the stained glass was executed by August Wanner in 1965.

Working out a deal? Planning a financial coup? Watching well-dressed gentlemen chat at a café table in Zürich, like here on the Münstergasse, always gets my imagination going!
