The oldest parish church in Zurich, St. Peter's Church, stands today with much of its 9th—and 10th-century construction still intact. Stepping into St. Peter's Church in the old town, the church houses the largest clock face in Europe. The clock tower, which today stands at 64 meters tall, was added first in the 14th century. It is situated next to the historic Lidenhof hill.
The architectural styles used in it's design are primarily late Romanesque and Romanesque. The clock face is the largest anywhere in Europe. The burial of Zurich's first mayor, Rudolf Brun, was also done here in 1360. It is the 3rd of Zurich's 4 major Churches.
