A Swiss heritage site, the Church of the Holy Ghost, or as the locals call it, Heiliggeistkirche, is one of the forerunners for the title of 'Switzerland's largest reformed church'. Draped in history, the church has fulfilled many roles over the years which most notably include operating as a public granary and later, as the dedicated abbey to the Holy Ghost Hospital. The original structure's influence waned with the emergence of Protestant Reformation, after which it was given a much-need face-lift under the able leadership of Niklaus Schiltknecht. New additions include Baroque sandstone artworks, a series of 14 of monolithic balusters and a set of six bells cast in bronze, with the oldest piece dating back to the late 16th Century.
