The Fraumünster is a world-famous church featuring exceptional stained glass windows by Marc Chagall. Founded in 853 by King Louis the German, the convent was inhabited by the female members of European aristocracy. The abbess had the right to mint coins in Zurich until the 13th century. Important architectural features include the Romanesque chancel and high vaulted transept. The greatest treasure is Chagall's five-part window cycle in the chancel and rosette in the southern transept, alongside Augusto Giacometti's windows in the north transept. The cloister reveals frescos by Paul Bodmer, while the crypt harbors the oldest remnants of the Fraumünster abbey with a multimedia exhibit portraying over 1200 years of history.
