The Rathaus Luzern, constructed from 1602 to 1606 in the Italian Renaissance style, is an important historical site situated at Kornmarkt 3, Luzern. Designed by architect Anton Isenmann, it was used for the Cantonal Council meetings until 1798 and currently hosts sessions of the city's Grand Council. The building's façade resembles a Milanese palace, complemented by the distinctive Rathausturm and picturesque views of the Reuss River. Visitors can admire its architectural features, including the Portrait Hall and the Kornschütte exhibition area. The site is accessible and provides cultural insights into the history of Luzern. Specific visiting hours and admission fees may vary, making this Rathaus a must-visit for those interested in Swiss culture.
