    We were there earlier this year, I especially liked the 17th century historical paintings inside the bridge – just amazing!
    Thanks for the postcard, it brought back nice memories :)

    Lucerne bridge is really awesome! I was lucky enough to see it a few years ago (well… maybe a lot!), before it got burned. The inner part of the bridge was really stunning, full of amazing paintings.
    When I read that the bridge had been strongly damaged by the fire, I felt so sorry that such an unique piece of art and testimonial of the past had gone destroyed.
    I do not really know the extent of the damages, although I believe it was great. Notwithstanding, Lucerne hasn’t lost its charm, as Switzerland overall.

    Thanks :)

    That bridge was amazing, loved the medieval Dance of Death paintings. This photo is from 2007. Lucerne was a quickie day trip from my quickie 4 days in Zurich.
