Horw

Built around agricultural hamlets on the lower slopes of Mount Pilatus, Horw grew into a lakeside municipality on Lake Lucerne, just south of Lucerne. Much of its territory extends across the Horw peninsula, where the lake’s broad arms meet foothills and open land rises toward wooded slopes. The Pilatus massif forms the southern backdrop, while Lake Lucerne links the community to the wider waterways of central Switzerland. Above the settled shore, the Hergiswald pilgrimage church is a notable Baroque religious landmark. Horw also hosts a campus of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, adding an academic presence to this largely residential community.
