Sempach

Sempach sits on the southern shore of Lake Sempach in Switzerland’s canton of Lucerne, where a compact historic settlement meets open agricultural country. Its name is inseparable from the Battle of Sempach, fought on 9 July 1386, when troops of the Swiss Confederacy defeated an Austrian army led by Duke Leopold III. The Sempach Battle Chapel commemorates the conflict, a decisive episode in the Confederacy’s early expansion. The lake remains central to local life, with a shoreline suited to walking, swimming and sailing, while Lucerne and the foothills of the Alps lie in the broader regional setting.
