Built in 1859/1860 following the clever style developed by Poiree, the Needle Dam is a unique attraction in terms of both technology and history.  From 2009-2011 the facility was renovated and the city’s flood protection was improved.  Even today, the level of Lake Lucerne is regulated by hand through the removal and placement of the co-called needles (wooden posts).*
