The most famous landmark of Lucerne is the watertower, attached to the Chapel Bridge, but there are more old bridges in this lovely town.
The bridge was constructed in the 1330s in order to defend Lucerne against attacks. Now, it has turned into a major magnet for visitors who come enjoy the bridge meandering over the Reiss river, embellished by flowers (unfortunately only on one side) and the picturesque sight of the oldest wooden bridge of Europe and the octagonal watertower. The latter served torture chamber, prison, watchtower and treasury; right now, it serves as the guild hall of the artillery association. At the moment of its construction, it was actually part of the city wall.
