The Hofkirche, as locals call it, stands at the top of a broad flight of steps on the hill between the old town and the lake's eastern shore. Its twin towers, the sole survivors of a Romanesque church that burned in 1633, loom over the surrounding arcaded cloister and give the building an incongruous gothic appearance for a church that is largely Renaissance inside.
The interior is more restrained than the Jesuit Church but no less worth visiting. The carving on the choir stalls, the late Renaissance stonework, and the light from the large windows create a calm and dignified space. The grave of Carl Spitteler, the Swiss Nobel laureate, is in the cemetery outside. The cloister around the church is a pleasant place to sit.
