Sempach tower tour

guided tour
1 Hour 30 Minutes
Climb up to the towers in Sempach, find out what an important role they played in the town fortifications and enjoy the unique views of the wakker town.

With an expert guide, you will visit the Witches' Tower and the Lucerne Gate at the southern end of the town and learn more about the imposing 17th century town clock and the fresco by Seraphin Weingartner. The tour continues at the northern entrance to the old town to the Ochsen or Surseertor gate, which also played an important role in the fortification of the town. The gate once had a tower, which was demolished in the 19th century but rebuilt true to the original for the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Sempach.

On request, the actors and actresses of the Sempach Theater Society will enrich your tour with exciting performances at the original locations.

Immerse yourself in the history of the town of Sempach, visit the old towers and gates and enjoy the unique views of the small town on Lake Sempach.
