THE WATER TOWER
Lucerne’s water tower is a powerful yet attractive construction. The old stork’s nest, which hasn’t been occupied in a century, isn’t its only trademark. The tower is octagonal in form, a shape that Kaiser Friedrich II loved and favoured for his most beautiful buildings. From its roof to the ground, the water tower measures 34.5 m. Believe it or not, it is actually thicker than it is high; its circumference is 38 m. It is thought that the tower was built on dry land in the first half of the 14th century. In its long history, the enormous structure has served various purposes. First it was a defence and watchtower, and later it was used as an archive, treasure and preparation chamber. With walls measuring 4.5 m thick, the lowest room was used as a prison cell. Its interior was completely dark. The poor criminals who came there had to sit on a toggle and be lowered into the cell through a hole. As in countless other towers, there was a torture chamber, too. ...
