"the oldest church of Luzern" Top 5 Page for this destination Franziskanerkirche Tip by globetrott

Franziskanerkirche (Franciscan church) is the oldest church in Lucerne / Luzern, dating back to the 13th century. From outside it looks rather simple, but the interior is simply stunning. All of the church is beautifully decorated in different styles :
On my 1st & 2nd pics : at the rear of the church you will see this side-chapel, with ornate stucco-works with plenty of sculptured angels that were added in the baroque
My 3rd picture : the outside of the church is not fancy at all, BUT you have to get inside !!
My 4th picture : the great pulpit decorated with wonderful wood-carvings
My 5th picture : See that great romanic fresco on top of the high-altar

Directions: Franziskanerkirche is close to the old pharmacy, at the southern bank of the river Reuss.
