Bourbaki Panorama

Inside the round building, which underwent a thorough renovation in the year 2000, you will find the impressive circular painting which Edouard Castres painted in 1881. It is 10 m high and 112 m in circumference and depicts a memorable episode from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 in which the French Army, under General Bourbaki, crossed into Switzerland. Since it was renovated, the Bourbaki Panorama Lucerne has developed into a unique cultural and meeting center with restaurants, cinemas, museum, an art gallery and shops.
