Katholisches Pfarramt Bruder Klaus

The canton of Zug is home to a wealth of impressive and diverse religious cultural assets that deserve greater recognition: churches, monasteries, chapels, ossuaries, each with their own furnishings, as well as wayside shrines, roadside crosses, wayside shrines, etc.

The "Kulturpunkte Zug" project aims to spark interest in these cultural assets and present them in an attractive way using modern media, bringing them closer to the public digitally – with videos, audio files, image galleries, short informative texts, and lots of links. Above all, however, with stories – stories about what and how people believed in past centuries, how they lived and mastered life with the help of their faith.

These diverse forms of belief and their material manifestations, as well as their transformation, have had a significant impact on our culture and continue to do so to a considerable extent today, albeit often unconsciously. Finding access to Zug's cultural points or deepening one's understanding of them therefore also means gaining a better understanding of the present and, ultimately, of oneself.

In a multicultural and multi-religious society in particular, knowledge of one's own regional traditions and a certain familiarity with them are fundamental to finding one's identity. And both are just as essential for mutual understanding, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence as they are for shaping the future responsibly.
