Location: Lucerne Switzerland

St Peters Chapel (The chapel for which the Chapel Bridge is so named)

Many Lucerne guides believe that St. Peter's Chapel, located on the square named after her, Kappelplatz, was the first building to appear in the city. But historians believe that the village, which could be called the predecessor of the city of Lucerne, existed here long before the appearance of the chapel of St. Peter - around the 8th century. Its inhabitants supported the ancient monastery in every possible way, one of the abbots of which, according to legend, laid the first stone in the foundation of St. Peter's chapel in 1178.
