Vintage 1930s postcard b&w  SWITZERLAND

The Kapellbrücke (literally, Chapel Bridge) is a covered wooden footbridge spanning the river Reuss diagonally in the city of Lucerne in central Switzerland. Named after the nearby St. Peter's Chapel,^[1] the bridge is unique in containing a number of interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, although many of them were destroyed along with a larger part of the centuries-old bridge in a 1993 fire. Subsequently restored, the Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe,^[2][3] as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge.^[4] It serves as the city's symbol and as one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions.
