Richterswil

Switzerland, Zurich
Ref. Kirche

This church, built in 1902/05 by the architects Kehrer and Knell in Zurich is constructed in the usual cruciform with a pulpit wall. In other respects, however, its form does not pay homage to the Art Nouveau but abides to the historical outlook of the Neo-Gothic period. Only in some of its furnishings, for example in the decorative painting, is the influence of the Art Nouveau apparent. The organ façade, which dates from the same period, also displays some elements of the Art Nouveau - the characteristic decorative bands in front of the pipes, for instance. The organ, originally built by our company, was fully pneumatic (III/P/31).
