Built in 1702, the Alte Kirche Wollishofen stands as a testament to the enduring faith and community spirit of Wollishofen. The Alte Kirche Wollishofen wasn’t always its own entity. For centuries, the village of Wollishofen belonged to the parish of St. Peter and Paul in Kilchberg. Imagine the villagers, making their way to Kilchberg every Sunday for services. That changed in the 18th century, when the Alte Kirche Wollishofen was finally built, giving the villagers their own spiritual home. The church has seen its share of renovations over the years. One notable change occurred between 1862 and 1863, when the choir area was lowered, and the original wooden ceiling was replaced with a plaster one. Today, the Alte Kirche Wollishofen stands as a beautiful blend of its original architecture and later additions. Inside, you’ll find an exquisite walnut pulpit. This intricately carved piece, dating back to 1702, features an inscription in old German, reminding us of the church’s enduring message of faith. This inscription reads: “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:27 1702.” Although the Alte Kirche Wollishofen is no longer the main church for the community, it remains a cherished landmark. The church’s peaceful atmosphere and captivating history make it an ideal place for quiet reflection and a must-visit for anyone interested in experiencing the rich tapestry of Zurich’s past.
