Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) is a 200-meter bridge on the River Reis. It is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe and was built in 1365. Along the bridge there are 111 old paintings that tell about the history of Switzerland. In the middle of the bridge stands the Wasserturm, which today houses the Artillery Guild Hall and a gift shop. Kapellbrücke was badly damaged by a fire in 1993, but a year later it was restored.

This is a unique covered bridge, it is believed that it is the oldest of all in Europe. It was built as part of the city fortifications. Now it connects the old city with new quarters. Once the bridge was very badly damaged by fire, but later it was completely restored. When walking along this bridge, do not forget to look up - along the bridge, under the very roof, you can see triangular paintings depicting the most important moments in the history of Switzerland. In general, the bridge is very beautiful, be sure to look at it.
