Museggmauer Tickets & Tours

Museggmauer is the medieval landmark of Lucerne and was built in the 13th century as a city fortification. Originally an inner and an outer ring secured the city from enemy attacks. The Musegg wall is still 870m long, approx. 9m high and 1.5m wide. This makes it the longest city wall that has been preserved in one piece in Switzerland. Of the previous 30 towers, nine have been preserved: Nölliturm, Männliturm, Luegisland, Wachtturm, Zytturm, Schirmerturm, Pulverturm, Allenwindenturm und Dächliturm. They provide a habitat for a variety of animal species and plants.
