About this audio guide
This guide to the Reformierte Schlosskirche in Interlaken follows one church through the Reformation of fifteen twenty-eight, when Bern took over a monastery and had to decide what its empty choir was for. Along the way you meet the double house of canons and nuns that once filled it, a bitter feud and an arrested provost, English worshippers in the nineteenth century, and the stained-glass artist Paul Zehnder. Listen from inside, where the old choir and the newer nave meet.
