Guillaume Dufay (Du Fay, Du Fayt) (August 5, 1397?[1] -- November 27, 1474) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the early Renaissance. As the central figure in the Burgundian School, he was the most famous and influential composer in Europe in the mid-15th century. Guillaume Dufay est un compositeur franco-flamand né vers 1400 peut-être à Cambrai ou Fay près de Cambrai, plus probablement à Beersel - non loin de Bruxelles - ou Chimay - non loin de Charleroi -, et mort à Cambrai le 27 novembre 1474. L'église Saint-Michel (katholische St. Michaelkirche) est un vaste monument inauguré en octobre 1902. Si cette église est de style néo-gothique, harmonieux et affirmé, la décoration intérieure est une expression remarquable de l'Art Nouveau (dans sa forme allemande appelée Jugendstil).

Die Moorlandschaft auf dem Zugerberg ist von nationaler Bedeutung.
