Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Between 1746 and 1751, the Peterskapelle was thoroughly redesigned and actually built over a 12th-century predecessor. This chapel also lends its name to the Kapellbrücke. On the outer walls of Peter’s you can see an alabaster sculpture of the Mount of Olives remains from the previous church building and a fresco by Brother Klaus dates from the late 19th century and the painting of St. Nicholas. Christopher is from the early 20th century.
People were filming on Kapellplatz we were not allowed on the square. Had to walk a long way and I didn't really feel like it. One stopped for a moment and we could quickly cross the square. That's why we forgot to go inside the church.

Situated on Kapellplatz, near the Chapel Bridge, this Roman Catholic church is right next to the Banneret / Fritschibrunnen Fountain. It is from her that the Pont de la Chapelle next door takes its name. It is the oldest church within the old city walls.

this church was founded by one of th co-founders of the Jesuit Order of the Catholic Church. Walk in the peace that takes place is not able to be explained.

My husband and I were part of a tour group visiting Lucern on our way to a Rhine River Cruise. While spending time on a walking tour, we came upon the St. Peter's Chapel in Old Town. We did not have an opportunity to spend time inside but it was a nice picture op. It is located at the end of Kapellbrucke (Chapel Bridge). A site worth visiting in Old Town.

Listen, this church has an AI Jesus. This is, simply put, blasphemy and goes against the bible. It feels insulting. Don't let this be the start of accepting AI in places like this.

St. Peter's Chapel, located at the Old Town end of the Chapel Bridge, is a very simple unadorned church (both externally and internally), except for three beautiful stand-out paintings inside… gorgeous.

We stopped in to Peter's Chapel while in Lucerne, but only to see it, not for a service. Featuring ancient art, it was a worthwhile stop! We love seeing the architecture and art of different periods. If you do, too, it's worth your time.

This is the oldest original church structure in Lucerne. It was the site of the community parish and at one time connected directly to Chapel bridge. Today the bridge empties just before the side door to the chapel. On the other side is an amazing square. This and other platz in Lucerne make you feel like you are back in the 18th or 19 century. The church itself is very pretty but very humble. I really like the authenticity that I felt in my visit here. I highly recommend you take the time to stop and visit before or after the Kapellebrucke.

Right near the colourful fountain, at one end of the wooden bridge, you will find this old church. I haven't been inside.
