Nestled between Lucerne and Sursee, at the upper end of Lake Sempach you will find Sempach city in Switzerland is the small town on the lake of the same name, known about the Battle of Sempach on 9 July 1386. The gate originally had a monopitch roof. Probably in the 17th century it was provided with a tower roof and a town clock was installed. Fresco on the front in 1911 by Seraphin Weingartner.

The tithe barn in Sempach was used for tithing and was owned by the St. Leodegar Monastery in Lucerne until 1810.
Today the tithe barn is rented out for productions of the Sempach Youth Theatre and similar events.

Very nice here, Sempach masters the art of building in harmony with the historical character of the city. However, the town is not only rich in history, it is also situated in an inviting landscape with a wonderful view of the Central Swiss Pre-Alps.
