Minster church
Media
The cathedral is the most original Romanesque church building in Switzerland, an impressive basilica. The former Benedictine Abbey of Allerheiligen , with the monastery church consecrated around 1106 and the cathedral tower from the second half of the 12th century, is one of the few well-preserved Romanesque monastery complexes in Switzerland.
Around 1090, the foundations were laid for a large, five-aisled cathedral. However, the building remained stuck in its foundations and today's cathedral was built in its place. The cathedral tower was built around 1150 and the spire is late Gothic.
The Benedictine abbey was dissolved in 1524 and the cathedral became a parish church.
Today, the cathedral is a place of worship for the Protestant Reformed parish of Schaffhausen-Münster and also serves as a concert church.
