1. Chapel Bridge (Lucerne, Switzerland) – 1333

The Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) is a 205 meters long oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe. The bridge’s unique feature is the Wasserturm (Water Tower), an octagonal tower built in the middle of the Reuss River. The bridge, initially constructed for defense purposes, has also served as a strategic connector within the compact medieval city. Despite a damaging fire in 1993, it was meticulously restored, and the structure we see now was rebuilt after the accident.
