For many of us, first moving to Switzerland means suffering sticker shock at nearly every turn. One way to find relief from this phenomenon might be a visit to a “Brockenhaus”.

Why not give your home a unique touch and transform an old piece. Here is a list of our favourite Brockenhäuser in Luzern. Caritas Bleicherstrasse 10
