Zermatt - Market Square

Around the Zermatt market square are the Gemeindehaus (communal council house) and six characteristic old village houses, on one of which is a tablet commemorating Whymper's guides, the two Taugwalders (father and son). Here, too, is the charming Marmot Fountain (1902). The handsome church of St Maurice, rebuilt in 1914, has a tower modeled on that of the earlier church.
