The Chapel Bridge is its best known landmark and has become the symbol of Lucerne. This Is Europe's oldest surviving wooden covered bridge. Paintings under the roof along the walkway depict the city's history
The Wasserturm (Water Tower), circa 1290–1300, stands at mid-bridge.
A huge fire destroyed most of the bridge in 1993. Except for the bridgeheads and the water tower the current brig=dge is a reconstruction.

The building on the right, at the top of the hill, is the Sea of Wisdom. In front of it is the Tower of Buddhist Incense.
The current Imperial Summer Palace, Yiheyuan, was built after the Old Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan, had been looted and burnt by Anglo French forces during the Second Opium War. Many looted items are now said to be in British and other European art collections.
