Former Castle Hotel

The tower was built in 1590 as a finishing touch to the city's fortification. However in 1888, it was burnt down and was rebuilt in 1901 with its current fantastical appearance and oriels after receiving the right to accommodate guests. This fairytale-like castle gives you a magnificent view of the beautiful Lake Lucerne and the frosty tips of Central Switzerland's Mountain Range as you half-expect dragons to fly in the distance.
