Chapel Bridge, Lucerne Overview
Chapel Bridge is a historic wooden bridge spanning the Reuss River in the city’s old town. Built in 1333, it is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe, featuring a series of triangular paintings depicting the city’s history. The bridge is connected to the iconic Water Tower (Wasserturm), a former prison and treasury.
This Chapel Bridge running across the river Reuss is 204m long. At about halfway along the bridge stands the octagonal Wassertum, or the water tower, which has stood strong since the 13th century. Inside the wooden covering of the bridge is artwork from the 17th century, displaying various landmark events from Lucerne's history. A major part of the bridge, however, had to be rebuilt after it caught fire in 1993.
