This 204 m-long wooden covered bridge is Lucerne's landmark! Built in the first half of the 14th century, it takes its name from the nearby St. Peter's Chapel. Since the 17th century, its framework has been adorned with numerous paintings depicting scenes from the history of the country, as well as the city's patron saints, St. Leodegar and St. Maurice. In the middle of the bridge, stop to admire the water tower, once used as a prison and torture chamber.

Pont emblématique de Lucerne, c'est un très bel ouvrage à visiter. Une visite qui se fait le nez en l'air pour observer les peintures des plafonds. De ce pont, on a aussi une très belle vue sur le lac des quatre cantons.

It is unavoidable and so romantic for photographers, it is possible to take very nice pictures from the two shores of the Reuss. Admiring the crystalline purity of water or the bottom sometimes more than three meters remains visible in its smallest detail. However, the other less exceptional bridges also offer excellent views.

Le pont de la chapelle à Lucerne permet une jolie petite promenade sur l'eau avec la découverte de toute la structure en bois qui a faillit être détruite par un incendie (les marques en sont d'ailleurs toujours visibles).

On peut le traverser même en cas de mauvais temps, car il est couvert. C'est un lieu très charmant, mais extrêmement touristique.
