There are so many churches to see and most are worth visiting as this one is. It is hard to phantom how they build these churches. Nice quite place to sit and pray, light a candle or just absorb all the beauty everywhere you look.
Built in the 1400's, Hofkirche lends two large steeples to the Lucerne landscape. Like most European churches, it is open to the public. The inside is magnificent, of course, but my favorite is the cemetary that runs down the sides and across the back of the church. So beautiful!

this place is worth a visit for the interior decor, you can also get excellent views of luzern from the doors. The cafes at the bottom are nice in summer

The Twin Spires of this church standout especially as it is near the lake and centre square. Walk the stairs and you get a nice view back to the lake and chapel bridge. I found this a nice church and worth visiting. Not far from the lion monument also.
This is a beautiful church to visit near the Lake. Not as glamorous as other churches in Europe but very beautiful nonetheless. You can visit it free and then walk over to the Lion of Lucerne Monument which is only a few blocks away.
Its a nice church near the lake, definitely recommended to go and take a look inside, you will not regret it.
