Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) - Luzern

[John Holland]

Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) is one of the landmark sights to see in Luzern. Originally built in 1365, it suffered a near disastrous fire in 1993 - it was repaired and reopen in 1984. Originally the bridge was over 270 meters (890 feet), now it is 204.7 meters (672 feet). it is the oldest truss bridge.

Now there's a fine view. I think I was last in Lucern in the mid 80s, so before the fire.

And here is the bridge from the other side (and shot in the afternoon, the first one was shot at sunrise)

Another fine shot, John but I prefer the lighting on the other (although I like the reflection of the tower in the windows in this one).
