Beyond its exterior beauty, the church is rumored to safeguard a trove of treasures within its walls, adding an air of mystery to its allure. A visit to this iconic site is a must on your Switzerland tour package, offering not just a glimpse into architectural grandeur but also a chance to unravel the secrets hidden within the church's hallowed halls.
