‘nother quick cut and paste post

The church I am facing is dedicated to St. Mauritius, plans for which were drawn in the 11th C.  It’s been modified tons and during restoration efforts in 1979-80 they found walls dating back to 6th C AD.

The tower has 6 bells, one from 1403, and they sure get rung a fair bit.  It’s 11am…they are ringing now!
There’s another tower in town…the “torture tower” built some time around the 14thC…and still othr towers used for a variety of things like minting coins and storing gunpowder.  For some reason a lot of towers survived here.

I need to rest before the performance…more posting will probably happen after i get back home…sunday-ish
Zolfingen is a very mellow, picturesque town.
