View of the Twin Spires of the Church of St. Leodegar, Lucerne

Around 735/736 South Alemannic aristocrats donated a small monastery on the site of today's Hofbezirkes, which was dedicated to St. Mauritius. Around 1135, the independent monastery became a provost dependent on Murbach (Alsace), and St. Leodegar was appointed the main patron. In 1291, Murbach Abbey was forced to sell the Provost of Lucerne, with all its courts, to the Habsburgs because of its own difficulties. In 1332, Lucerne joined the Confederation. By 1433, the city of Lucerne gradually regained all rights of the Habsburgs, including those over the monastery. In 1455/56, the Benedictine monastery was converted into a choral manor. Since then, canons pray daily in the morning and in the evening the church hour prayer. On Easter day 1633 the church burned down to its foundations. The Jesuit brother Jakob Kurrer from Ingolstadt was commissioned to build the new building. The inauguration took place after the almost completed completion of the equipment in 1644.

At the annual LiLu, the towers are illuminated very specifically.

Is the difference in the architecture between the towers and the cherry ship striking?The priest disturbed the pigeons on the roof, so he let them shoot. As a result, the towers burned down.
