Best Hotels Near Lion Monument Lucerne
The Lion Monument in Lucerne is a 9-metre sculpture carved directly into a sandstone cliff face depicting a dying lion transfixed by a spear, commemorating the 786 Swiss Guards who died defending King Louis XVI during the storming of the Tuileries in 1792 — described by Mark Twain as the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world. The monument is adjacent to the equally impressive Glacier Garden and a roofed terrace with panoramic views over Lucerne. Hotels near the Lion Monument in Lucerne's old town are close to this moving memorial and the city's excellent museum quarter.
