Description
The Lucerne's former train station building (built in 1896) fell in 1971 victim by a fire and is almost completely burned out. It was provisionally restored, to keep up the rail operations. In the 80's a completely new station was built, which opened in 1990.
The old Front Portal from 1896, which has not been destroyed in the fire, was placed in front of the new station! The portal is embellished by the very popular Swiss Station Clock, designed in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker !
