Luzern VI: Löwendenkmal

The Löwendenkmal, or the Lion of Lucerne, is a sculpture in Lucerne, Switzerland, designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and hewn in 1820–21 by Lukas Ahorn. It commemorates the Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution, when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris, France.

Luzern by Dusk

Luzern, Switzerland

In April we made an impromptu trip to Luzern to see a friend of Janet's who had been living in Germany and was returning to the States. We decided to meet somewhere in between.

Luzern: The End

Luzern: The Church

Only two shots of the inside of this church. A bit too fancy for my tastes!

Luzern: The Bridge

One of the paintings in the roof. Unfortunately, many of these have been destroyed by fire. Apparently these wooden bridges catch on fire often!

Luzern, Switzerland

We stopped for lunch in Luzern on our way home from Graubunden. This building was quite the piece of art!
