Aisleless basilican church by Valentin Kindlin after a fire<br />
burned down the Romanesque church in 1474<br />
Continued by Burkhard Engelberg, Baumeister from<br />
1477 and responsible for adding the aisles (completed<br />
1489) and Simpertus Arch (1492)<br />
Of particular interest in this church are the vaults of the<br />
south aisle (ca. 1493), which are asymmetrical along<br />
the axis of the aisle, and the sumptuous Simpertus arch<br />
(1492), in which all ribs are double-curved. Both of these<br />
striking features were introduced by Burkhard Engelberg<br />
who took over the construction of an otherwise old-fashioned<br />
church. 73<br />
Scope of survey: Keystone levels, VR panoramas<br />
