Die Kapellbrücke in Luzern ist die älteste Brücke Europas. Sie wurde um 1365 gebaut.
Der dazügehörige achteckige Wasserturm ist noch älter und wurde bereits um 1300 erbaut.

The Chapelbridge in Lucerne is the oldes wooden bridge of Europe. It was built around 1365.
The Water tower is older and was built around 1300.

In the roof of the bridge are 111 Paintings which show importand scenes of Switzerland's history

Leider viel ein Grossteil davon in der Nacht des 18. August 1993 einem Brand zum Opfer.
Die Brücke wurde danach wieder aufgebaut.
