About Jesuit Church
The Lucerne Jesuit Church is a Catholic church in Lucerne, Switzerland. It is the primary big baroque church constructed in Switzerland north of the Alps. The Jesuit order, founded by way of Ignatius of Loyola in 1534, were active contributors in the Counter-Reformation, the Catholic fight towards the birth of Protestantism. Protestant reformers such as Zwingli in Zurich and Calvin in Geneva divided the predominately Catholic Switzerland. In response, the Jesuits had been referred to as in to Lucerne by using the town council in 1573 to establish a university.
Ludwig Pfyffer, mayor of Lucerne, provided annual financial assist to the Jesuits out of his non-public finances. The Jesuit College of Lucerne turned into installed in 1577 in Ritter Palace, a building initially erected in 1557 as a house for mayor Lux Ritter. Construction at the related church started in 1667. By 1673 the shell of the church and the main facade have been finished.
The church became consecrated in 1677, even though the interior become now not yet sincerely completed. Several facet altars had been still lacking and even the high altar became simplest erected 4 years later, because of economic troubles. The onion crowned towers had been no longer finished till 1893. The vault became redecorated in the mid-18th century. The authentic vestments of Brother Klaus, a famous Swiss consumer, are stored inside the inner chapel.
