Luzern " The Chapel Bridge"
*The odest wooden bridge in Switzerland and Europe
*The 14th Century bridge spans the "Reuss"river next to lake Luzern. Is 204 m (670 ft) long. Constructed in 1333....Inside the bridge each roof panel has aunique painting of Swiss legend in it..
*The fire of 1993 which destroyed many of historic paintings represented a major loss for Switzerland nevertheless the successful restoration and reconstruction has returned the "Kapellbrücke" to where it belongs.
*Adjoining the bridge is the octagonal 140 ft "Wasserturm" (water tower) wich is said to have served as many things from prison to treasury.
