About Clock Tower

The clock tower has medieval architecture adorned with beautiful motifs. Its most prominent feature is the striking clock face that has been keeping time for centuries. The Clock Tower was built with a big clock and bell so people in the city and sailors on the lake, in the early days, could know the time accurately. Even now, the Clock Tower’s chime happens one minute before the bells ring, a special tradition followed in the Old Town.


Apart from its fascinating history and cultural significance, the tower lures tourists because of its beautiful view of the city from the top. Your visit to Lucerne is incomplete without visiting this wonder.
