Parish church, Greifensee near Zurich

The small church in Greifensee near Zurich provides an example of great freedom of design Gothic plans could achieve. The design was clearly adapted to the town wall of the small town, the church forming a quarter circle. The vault system, which rests on a single round column, is made up of three-rib vaults which together form a stellar vault. The clever use of such a small area turned it into an original space.
