Kirche St. Paul Katholische Kirche
Lucerne, Switzerland


Church Sign
"Dating back to 1912, Lucerne's St. Paul's Church was designed by Swiss architect Karl Coelestin Moser. It’s an amazing church with a splendid interior, charming frescoes and majestic glass paintings." (Link 2.)
Above Entrance

"St. Paul's Church was the first modern church in Lucerne after Jesuit Church (1677). While the inhabitants of the first 19th century boomtown district Neustadt had a relatively short distance to the medieval left shore Franciscan Church, inhabitants of the younger Hirschmatt district demanded for their own parish church. So St. Paul's Church replaced an older chapel on the road to Kriens." (Link 1.)

Sanctuary

"SrPaul's Church is a unique blend of Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau Styles." (Link 1.)
