Führung Kirchenschatz von Glarus
Fridolinsheim, Glarus
Public guided tour on the second Sunday of the months June, July, August, September and October 2024. Or on request. Welcome!
The church treasury of Glarus includes liturgical objects of exceptional beauty and historical significance: a 13th century chalice with which Ulrich Zwingli celebrated mass, the Gothic Brandis cross with parts of the cross on which Jesus died, the baroque silver figure of St. Fridolin and Ursus, which almost led to a civil war in Glarus, and a four-hundred-year-old chasuble made of purple damask fabric. They are surpassed in importance by the host monstrance from 1518, which is unparalleled throughout Europe in terms of design and style.
The exhibition focuses on the eleven outstanding treasures. The aim is to present the objects according to their value and to make them tangible as works of art, for whose creation only the most beautiful was good enough. At the same time, the history of the church in Glarus from the Middle Ages to the 20th century can be traced using individual objects.
