Description

The Musegg Wall with its Musegg towers is a landmark of the city of Lucerne and, together with the Water Tower and the Chapel Bridge, defines the historic townscape. It forms part of the former fortifications of the city of Lucerne. It runs west of the old town from the Reuss (near the Geissmatt Bridge) over the Musegg hill to east of the old town (the Musegg cantonal school). The wall is listed as a site of national significance on the List of Cultural Property in Lucerne.
