Musegg Wall and Towers

Highlight • Historical Site

The Museggmauer is the longest preserved section of city wall in Switzerland. It is 870 m long, approx. 9 m high and 1.5 m wide. Today, 9 out of 30 towers are still preserved: Nölliturm, Männliturm, Luegisland, Wachtturm, Zytturm, Schirmerturm, Pulverturm, Allenwindenturm and Dächliturm. This saying helps to remember the towers:
„Nölli, Männli, Lueg is Land, Bewach mer d'Zyt, Bescherm mer s'Polver ond em Allewende s'Dächli."

Reuss bridge with a view of the Nadelwehr

Highlight • Monument

The needle weir was built in 1859/60 according to a sophisticated design developed by Charles Poiree and is a unique sight. Even today, the water level in Lake Lucerne is regulated manually by removing or inserting the so-called needles.

The Lucerne Jesuit Church was built between 1666 and 1677 as the first large baroque church in Switzerland. The murals are by the brothers Giovanni Antonio and Giuseppe Antonio Torricelli.

Water tower Lucerne

Highlight • Monument

Near the left bank is the octagonal water tower, which was built around 1300, before the Chapel Bridge, and can be reached from it via a short cross-passage. The tower was used alternately as a watchtower and cornerstone of the fortifications, as a city archive and treasury and as a dungeon and torture chamber. Today it houses a souvenir shop as well as the clubhouse of the artillery association Lucerne.
