Review & FAQ:
The Spreuer Bridge extends 435 meters (1,427 ft) across the Reuss River. The covered wooden footbridge was first built in 1408 and was rebuilt after its destruction from a flood in 1566. In its early years, the Spreuer served as the only location where local residents could dispose of wheat (Spreue) which also gives the bridge its name. The pediments still contain paintings mostly portraying donors of Lucerne society. Between 1626 and 1635, Kaspar Meglinger added 67 paintings which represent the "Dance of Death", an artistic style exploring the universality of death.
