  • Called Kapellbrucke Mit Wasserturm locally, this wooden chapel bridge is steeped in history and is extremely beautiful.The wonderful paintings and writings on the inner walls include biographies of city's patron saints Leodegar & Mauritius. Anyone visiting Switzerland must visit Luzern and of course, this bridge.
  • It's terrible that it was mostly destroyed in 1993. It's a shame when history is destroyed.
  • cho mình hỏi cầu này xây xong ngày nào?
