About this audio guide
This guide to the Parish Church of Saint Mauritius in Zermatt starts overhead, with the Noah's Ark painted across the nave by a Florentine artist in nineteen eighty. From there it reaches back to a mountain village that first said no to a new church, a vote in November nineteen ten, and an architect from Rorschach. Best heard standing in the nave, looking up.
