Luegislandturm

Historical landmark

👍 Nice place to go to get a nice view of the Luzern city. The other good view point is from Castle Gutsch which is on a greater height and on the other side of the river. The entrance to the tower is free and it is a good photopoint . You also get views of the KKL and the Pilatus from here.

👍👍 It seems like the front is a classic style of art. The back side, next to the train station, is a modern style. It's an important hi-light point when arriving at the station. The basement has a variety of shops offering food, clothing, and fashion.

Fritschibrunnen

Historical landmark

Later I learned that although it was completed in October 1918, it is still a post-Renaissance building. The designer was Seraphim Weingart, the founding director of the Luzern School of Applied Arts....
