Grossmunster Church dominates Zurich’s skyline. It was built as a Romanesque cathedral in the 12th century and dedicated to the patron saints of Zurich. Later it became a protestant church during the reformation. A fire destroyed part of the towers in 1763 and they had to be rebuilt, which is why they are now Gothic towers. Inside, the decoration is simple with modern furnishings and elegant stained glass windows.
One of the oldest covered bridges in Europe dates back to 1333 and is known as Kapellbruecke in its German-speaking home of Lucerne, Switzerland. Much of 669-foot Chapel Bridge located where Lake Lucerne meets River Reuss had to be reconstructed after a 1993 fire. There are magnificent 17th century paintings inside the bridge portraying the city's and country's history.
