The Parish Church of Saint Mauritius in Zermatt sits under a distinctive, onion-shaped copper spire that rises sharply above the village rooftops. Inside the heavy stone walls, the current structure dates back to nineteen hundred and ten, though it occupies the same ground as a series of churches built here since the thirteenth century. When workers dug the foundation for this building, they uncovered ancient coins and bone fragments that confirmed generations of villagers had gathered on this exact spot for centuries.
