The parish church of St. Mauritius dates back to the early 20th century and was consecrated on June 6, 1916. The church was designed by Adolf Gaudy de Rorschach and was last renovated in 1980. The initially small church already existed on the site of the current church in 1285, having been repeatedly expanded, renovated and modified over the decades. In 1913, due to lack of space, it was decided to demolish the old church and build a new one, St. Mauritius.

The church of St. Mauritius is located in the Englischer Viertel, next to the Gemeide of Zermatt, Switzerland. Behind the church, where this panorama was photographed and which is worth visiting, are the graves of unknown and identified climbers who died while climbing the Materhorn, probably the most famous mountain in the world. A well-deserved tribute to the brave men and women who lost their lives trying to conquer the Matterhorn, one of the most difficult climbs in the Alps.

A igreja paroquial de St. Mauritius remonta ao início do século XX e foi consagrada a 6 de junho de 1916. A igreja foi projetada por Adolf Gaudy de Rorschach e renovada pela última vez em 1980. A igreja inicialmente pequena, já existia no local da igreja atual em 1285, tendo sido repetidamente expandida, renovada e modificada ao longo das décadas. Em 1913, devido à falta de espaço, decidiu-se demolir a antiga igreja e construir uma nova, a de St. Mauritius.

A igreja de St. Mauritius localiza-se na Englischer Viertel, junto ao Gemeide de Zermatt, Suíça. Nas costas da igreja, onde este panorama foi fotografado e que vale apena visitar, encontram-se túmulos de alpinistas desconhecidos e identificados, que morreram ao escalar o Materhorn, provavelmente a montanha mais famosa do mundo. Uma merecida homenagem aos bravos homens e mulheres que perderam a vida a tentar conquistar o Matterhorn, uma das escaladas mais difíceis dos Alpes.
