Waiting for you on top of the hill: Sedel.
Former “Sedelhof" used to be a prison until 1971. Since 1981 it is used for cultural purposes. Sedel plays a vital role in the music scene of Lucerne and its surroundings. The building provides 52 rehearsal rooms (the old prison cells), they were transformed into space for a large number of bands and musicians.
Next to the rehearsal rooms, the building contains a club large enough to hold up to 250 people. Each week concerts or parties are hosted, they cover a wide range of musical genres from punk to contemporary electronic music. Sedel enjoys a good reputation particularly in the punk scene, and for most of the 1980's was the only place in Lucerne for ”loud music“.
