La Femme et le Lion de Lucerne

The Lion Monument is a proud landmark of the city of Lucerne and a popular attraction. The “Lion of Lucerne” lies in his lair in one of the idyllic parks in the centre of the city.

The Lion Monument, which is nestled in a rocky grotto in a charming park setting, was unveiled in 1821. The dying lion of Lucerne was sculpted from the living rock of the cliff and commemorates the Swiss guardsmen who died in 1792 during the French Revolution. The most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world invites you to journey back through time.

However, this striking stone lion is more than “just” a monument. Depending on your perspective, it can be a memorial, work of art or monument.

Le Monument du Lion

Curiosité incontournable, le vénérable Monument du Lion fait figure d’emblème de la ville de Lucerne. Le «Lion de Lucerne» est niché dans la falaise de l’idyllique parc du cœur de la cité.

C'est en 1821 que le Monument du Lion fut inauguré dans ce parc paysager. Sculpté directement dans la paroi rocheuse, le Lion agonisant de Lucerne rend mémoire aux Gardes suisses ayant péri lors des événements de la Révolution française en 1792. La plus triste sculpture du monde invite à revisiter un passé tourmenté.

Mais ce colossal lion de pierre est bien plus qu’un monument historique. Selon les points de vue, il est à la fois un lieu commémoratif, un mémorial et une œuvre d’art.
