Chapel Bridge, Switzerland
Located in the town of Lucerne, this stunning bridge was built in 1333 and crosses over the Reuss River diagonally. Rich in history, it’s the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. The inside of the bridge is decorated by 17th century paintings depicting events in local history. It was nearly destroyed in a fire roughly 20 years ago. About two thirds of the bridge and 85 of the 110 paintings were lost, some dating back to 1611. Only 25 could be saved or restored, and the bridge itself was rebuilt a year later.

Beautiful bridges and interesting information, thank you!
But the essential point is missing: the Names of their creators, the Architects who envisioned and brought to light these magnificent works! It's not like these appeared out of nowhere!
Their merits have to be recognized every time people see their creations.
Like when you see the Mona Lisa and immediately Leonardo's name comes to mind...
