Lucerne


Lucerne Excursion July 20th, Day 7
Next we enjoyed a boat ride across the Lucerne Lake while looking at the county estates and green hillsides while on our way to the city of Lucerne. Here, we visited the medieval town and the Lion Monument, which was built in memory of Louis XVI's Swiss Guard. We walked across the Chapel Bridge and visited the beautiful Lucerne Chapel. The Chapel was built by Jesuit's from 1666 to 1677 the onion domes were later added in 1893. We also enjoyed some “Milka” chocolates along with a little shopping.
