Switzerland in the canton of Zurich, located in the district of the same name.The
Reformed Church and the popular Sigristenkeller gallery stand on a small hill, and are surrounded by pretty old buildings, including the Pfarrhaus and the old Tithe Barn. The church is named afterSaint Laurentius , to whom the town's coat of arms is dedicated. Saint Laurentius was deacon toPope Sixtus II , and became a martyr when he was condemned to death by fire in 258 AD. The church forms a well-matched unit with the Town Hall, and has a tower rising above it to a height of 74 meters. Also on the first Saturday of every month at 6pm, trumpeters play for half an hour from the top of the tower.One of its most important institutions and its biggest employer (over 700 employees) is the regional hospital Spital Bülach with 200 acute beds. Another important employer is the traditional
glass producerVetropack .Duke
Leopold III of Austria (Habsburg) granted Bulach atown charter in 1384, including its own jurisdiction and the right to hold its own market.External links
