点评:St. Peter is a the oldest of the four main churches in Zurich. It is located at St. Peterhofstatt in Old Town and open from 9am to 6pm (weekdays) and 9am to 3pm (weekends). It is a nice building with Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque features and worth visiting when sightseeing in the area.
The church history dates back to early church structures of the 8th and 9th century built upon even earlier grounds of a Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter. A Romanesque church was later built around 1230 AD for the Catholic worshipers at that time. The church's famed clock tower dates back to this era as well.
The Gothic style nave was added in 1460 while the bell tower was extended to its present day height around the same time. The church importantly converted to Protestantism in 1523 during the Swiss Reformation. Much of the church was heavily renovated and given a Baroque makeover during the early 18th century, giving us the church with blended architecture that can be seen and visited today.
The exterior highlight is the bell tower with its enormous clock face, the largest in all of Europe. Within you'll see a white wall Baroque nave with stucco rich barrel-vaulted ceiling. There are preserved Romanesque wall art behind the altar and a few other interesting things to see as well. Worth a 10 minute look around.
翻译:圣彼得教堂是苏黎世四座主要教堂中最古老的一座。它坐落于老城的圣彼得霍夫施塔特区,开放时间为工作日上午9点至下午6点,周末为上午9点至下午3点。这座教堂融合了罗马式、哥特式和巴洛克式风格,建筑颇具特色,在该地区观光时非常值得一游。
教堂的历史可追溯到8至9世纪,当时人们在更早时期一座供奉朱庇特的罗马神庙遗址上修建了最初的教堂建筑。后来,大约在公元1230年,为当时的天主教徒们建造了一座罗马式教堂。这座教堂著名的钟楼同样建于那个时期。
1460年,教堂又增建了哥特式风格的中殿,与此同时钟楼也被加高至如今的高度。在瑞士宗教改革期间,该教堂于1523年改信新教。18世纪初,教堂的大部分建筑经过大规模翻修,并被赋予了巴洛克风格。这就造就了如今我们能看到并参观的、拥有混合式建筑风格的教堂。
其最引人注目的部分便是钟楼,楼上的大钟盘面堪称整个欧洲最大。步入教堂内部,可见白色的巴洛克式中殿以及装饰着灰泥的拱形天花板。祭坛后方还保存着一些罗马式风格的壁画,此外也有其他不少值得一看的景致。花上10分钟左右时间参观一番吧。
