Introduction to the ancient city wall of Musegg: The ancient city wall of Musegg (Museggmauer) is located on a hillside north of the Reuss River. It is the ancient city wall of Lucerne. It was first built in the 14th century. Today, only an 800-meter-long section remains. The city wall, with nine watchtowers still preserved on the wall, is one of the best preserved and longest defensive walls in Switzerland.
The three towers on the city wall, Mannliturm, Zeitturm and Schirmerturm, are open to the public. You can overlook the scenery of the whole city by climbing the towers. Among them, the clock of Zyt Tower was built in 1535. It is the oldest clock in the city and enjoys the privilege of chiming one minute earlier than other clocks in the city.
