"Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge)" Lucerne Switzerland *
Wasserturm
by Dominic Nessi
  • The most characteristic sight in Lucerne is the Kapellbrücke, a covered wooden bridge running diagonally across the Reuss. Apart from being a picturesque centerpiece for Lucerne, the bridge, built in 1333, is interesting for the more than 100 17th-century pictures hanging from the roof rafters inside, depicting patron saints and scenes from the town's history.

The Kapellbrücke was severely damaged by fire in 1993 but has been completely rebuilt and restored. Beside it is the octagonal Wasserturm, a 13th-century water tower more than 34 meters high and once part of the town's fortifications. The bridge and tower are among the most photographed scenes in all Switzerland.

Désolé pour les francophones mais ce lac sonne tellement bien en Allemand (essayez donc à le prononcer :-)) En français (pour les amis francophones non-Suisses c'est le lac des quatre cantons (rien avoir avec la traduction depuis l'Allemand). And for the english friends: Lake Lucerne.

Pour conclure la série de ma sortie sur le Pilate encore le pont de la chapelle de Lucerne. Malgré son attirance touristique je n'ai pas pu résister à une photographie. Pour contrer les critiques selon quoi le reflet de la tour est coupé je dois dire que malheureusement c'est vrai. Mais donc pourquoi diable, faut-il que tout sois toujours parfaitement symétrique ?
