Its congregation forms part of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Zurich. The core of the present building, near the banks of the Limmat, was constructed on the site of a Carolingian church, which was, according to legend, originally commissioned by Charlemagne. Construction of the present structure commenced around 1100 and it was inaugurated around 1220.

Limmatquai () is a street in the Swiss city of Zurich. It is named after the Limmat, and it follows the right-hand (eastern) bank of that river for about through the Altstadt, or historical core, of the city. The street was once important for both road and public transportation, but today sections of it form a pedestrian zone shared with Zurich's trams, effectively forming a northern extension of the Seeuferanlage promenades that ring the shores of Lake Zurich.
