Willisau

Willisau combines a compact medieval centre with the everyday pace of a rural market town in a way that reflects its position in the rolling Lucerne hinterland. The town lies in the Wigger valley, part of the Swiss Plateau between the Alps and the Jura, where farmland and low hills shape the wider setting. Willisau’s old town is marked by the Obertor and Untertor, surviving gates of its former fortifications; much of the centre was rebuilt after a devastating fire in 1704. It is also known across Switzerland for Willisauer Ringli, a hard honey biscuit, and for the long-running Willisau Jazz Festival.
