THE KAPELLBRUCKE BRIDGE SYMBOL OF LUCERNE
Lucern's landmark is considered to be Europe's oldest covered bridge. It was built in the 14th Century and was originally a part of the city’s fortification.
The paintings, added in the 17th Century, illustrate scenes of Swiss and local history, including the biographies of the city's patron saints, St. Leodegar and St. Maurice.
The Kapellbrucke, the most romantic and beautiful bridge of the Alps
Much of the bridge and artwork were destroyed in the 1993 fire, but it was promptly restored. The Water Tower, a 43 mt tall octagonal brick tower, is adjacent to the bridge.
In the past the tower served as a prison, torture chamber, watchtower and treasury for the city. Today the tower is a part of the city wall and is used as a club room by a local association.
The tower and bridge are symbols of Lucern and are the most photographed monuments in the country.
