The Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge) is a covered wooden footbridge spanning the river Reuss. It's the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge.

The bridge is unique in containing a number of interior paintings dating back to the 17th century. Some were repainted due to a 1993 fire.
