Musegg Wall, Lucerne Overview
Musegg Walls are the town walls, along the North of the Old Town, which were built to fortify the city and protect it from invasion. Of the 9 towers built with these walls, 5 were closed and 4 are still open to the public, however during the warmer months.
The towers and defenses of Musegg Wall were constructed in the 13th century and consisted of two rings of ramparts. From The Wall's summit, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views over the city and the nearby mountains. These walls had watch towers built, a total of 9, to look over the wall. Some of these had roofs, and some did not. Interestingly, all nine towers were built in different architectural styles. The accessible towers from East to West are- the Schirmer Tower, the Zyt Tower, which became a clock tower in 1535, the Wacht Tower, and the Mannli Tower. The Musegg Wall is an outstanding example of ancient construction.
