Chapel Bridge - Kapellbrücke, Luzern Switzerland
Chapel Bridge, Lucerne - Switzerland Travel Guide
Said to be the longest covered bridge, Chapel Bridge also depicts Lucerne's history.
Behind me is Lucerne's Kapellbrucke or Chapel Bridge. Probably one of the most photographed attractions of Switzerland. Said to be the longest covered bridge in the world, it was originally built in the 14th century to act as part of the protective wall around the city. Sadly, a large part of it was burnt in a fire in the early 90's, but most of it has since been inextricably restored.
What is really interesting about the bridge is that its wooden ceiling has various triangular shaped paintings. Many of the paintings were destroyed in the fire as well. Some have been repainted but many are lost forever. The main attraction at the end of the bridge is this octagonal tower called the water tower. It has served various purposes including that of an archive, treasury, prison and a torture chamber. And of course we are in Lucerne so a great view is virtually guaranteed. I am Nadia Migdal showing you Lucerne.

A Day in Lucerne Switzerland! Exploring Chapel Bridge and More*
Sometimes the best way to learn a city is to get lost in it. That was our goal for our one day in Lucerne Switzerland. We walked around wonder what is there to do here, and hoped that this Texas vlogger would get some content for his vlog lol. We are glad we did this because the chapel bridge was just the start to a perfect day.

Lucerne, a compact city in Switzerland known for its preserved medieval architecture, sits amid snowcapped mountains on Lake Lucerne. Its colorful Altstadt (Old Town) is bordered on the north by 870m Museggmauer (Musegg Wall), a 14-century rampart. The covered Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), built in 1333, links the Aldstadt to the Reuss River's right bank.
The nearby Rigi and Pilatus mountains offer skiing and hiking. The Museggmauer's 9 medieval watchtowers are connected by walkways and offer views of the lake, mountains and river. Steamships take sightseers out on Lake Lucerne, and a cogwheel railway, believed to be the world's steepest, runs through vertical rock walls up Mt. Pilatus. The Rosengart Collection highlights Paul Klee and Picasso. Architect Jean Nouvel’s modernist Kultur und Kongresszentrum (KKL Luzern) is a waterfront center for the performing arts, notably symphonic music.

The Kapellbrücke (literally, Chapel Bridge) is a covered wooden footbridge spanning the River Reuss diagonally in the city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. Named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel, the bridge is unique in containing a number of interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, although many of them were destroyed along with a larger part of the centuries-old bridge in a 1993 fire. Subsequently restored, the Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge. It serves as the city's symbol and as one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions.-Wikipedia
Remembering the Chapel Bridge fire
Lucerne’s world famous covered bridge spanning the River Reuss is a magnet for tourists from all over the world. But the medieval Kapellbrücke, or Chapel Bridge, was nearly lost in a massive fire 25 years ago.

難以磨滅的瑞士琉森古老教堂橋火災記憶
遐邇聞名的盧塞恩地標性景觀-橫跨羅伊斯河(River Reuss)兩岸蜿蜒盤桓的廊橋，吸引著來自世界各地的旅人。然而，這座始建於中世紀的卡佩爾廊橋(亦被稱為“教堂橋”，Kapellbrücke/Chapel Bridge)，卻在25年前的一場無情大火中險些毀於一旦、焚燒殆盡。
於1365年竣工的卡佩爾廊橋，彼時本是作為盧塞恩防禦工事不可或缺的一個重要環節而建，而橋身上的鐫刻塗鴉的繪畫可追溯至17世紀。令人抱憾的是，其間許多畫作已在那場大火中被焚燬，同時化為灰燼的還有三分之二的橋體。見證了那場無情火災的盧塞恩當地居民幾近傷心欲絕。雖歷經25載，但火災的確切原因至今仍然不得而知，但傳言稱，始作俑者是駛過橋下的船隻不幸起火，繼而火勢一發不可收拾，直至蔓延至廊橋。
時隔一年，這座盧塞恩標誌性建築經在原貌基礎上的重建修葺，最終於1994年4月14日再次向公眾開放。與此前不同的是，新橋增設了監視系統，以防火災悲劇重演。據悉，修復費用總計高達340萬瑞朗。
2013年，瑞士電視台SRF特地在火災20年之際對卡佩爾廊橋進行了報導，以讓觀眾重溫那段可嘆可泣的火災悲劇。
