Step Into History: Lucerne’s Beloved Chapel Bridge 🇨🇭

#100waysoftravel #ancienttown #lucerne #swiss The Chapel Bridge located in Lucerne, Switzerland, is one of Europe's oldest wooden bridges, built in 1333. Spanning the Reuss River, it originally served as part of the city’s medieval fortifications. The bridge is famous for its series of 17th-century painted panels that depict scenes from Lucerne’s history and legends. Alongside it stands the Water Tower, a historic structure that once served as a prison and treasury. Although part of the bridge was damaged by fire in 1993, it was swiftly restored, preserving its cultural and historical significance. Today, the Chapel Bridge remains an iconic symbol of Lucerne.
