The Kapellbrücke, translated to Chapel Bridge, is a covered wooden footbridge that crosses over the River Reuss in a diagonal fashion and was built in 1333. It’s named after the nearby St. Peter’s Chapel and features unique artwork inside. It is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe and the world’s oldest surviving truss bridge. Part of the bridge is the Wasserturm or water tower that pre-dates the bridge by 30 years.
