Très bel église au centre de Zermatt à deux pas du musée Alpin.Nous vous conseillons de voir la belle Fontaine juste à la sortie droite de l'église avec de belles sculptures "bronze". Une visite de cette grande et imposante église s'impose !
Very small and nice church, located just 2 minutes walk (steep) from the St Mauritius church.At sunday you can take a pray together with locals.
This is a lovely peaceful church to visit in Zermatt. It is on Kirchstrasse so easy to find. The graveyard is also very interesting in that it has graves of many climbers killed on the Matterhorn.
This is a pretty little church, tucked away at the top of some steps ans set within pretty gardens. Clearly it is the 'lesser' denominational church, and whilst it is open and interesting, I didn'y see a soul at any time - visited twice during the week at went to the 6.30pm evensong - but each time there was no one around..
This is worth a visit, conveniently located just behind the main street (Swiss Alpine Centre, Hotel Le Cervin). The history of climbers and building are interesting and Sunday services during main summer and winter seasons are a great way to meet people and hear a good service.
I went to Zermatt to visit this chapel. Coming up to the 150th Anniversary of the first ascent of the Matterhorn the body of Revd Hudson is buried under the high table. He was one of four killed on the way down.
Really beautiful Church with wonderful frescos and amazing altar. Well worth the time to peak inside
A igreja St Peter's é bem linda e fica no meio desta cidade tão charmosa que é Zermatt. Ficava ao lado do hotel que me hospedei. Vale conhecer.
een herinnering aan hen die de matterhorn beklommen met bijzondere gevelstenen binnen. Een fijne ruimte om je even te bezinnen en in je zelf te keren
St Peter's Church in Zermatt is an English Church in the Alps. The foundation stone was laid in 1869 and it was opened in 1871, six year after the disastrous first ascent of the Matterhorn when four of the seven climbers fell to their deaths.The total cost of the church was £1575 largely collected from visiting British tourists and climbers. This beautiful church has played an important part in the history of Zermatt for over 140 years and has a visiting priest in the skiing season and during the Summer when there are a lot of English speaking tourists.The walls are lined with plaques dedicated to those who have died in the area, often of natural causes, but sadly also from mountain accidents. Under the alter are interred the bones of the English priest who died in that awful first ascent.Services take place on Sundays and I visited for an open house with mulled wine and nibbles on a Thursday in the skiing season at 18:00.The church is lovely and a visit is very moving. It is worth a visit.
