Sursee, Heritage municipality in Lucerne canton, Switzerland

Located at the northern end of Lake Sempach, Sursee occupies an area of 586 hectares with an elevation of 504 meters above sea level.

The municipality received city rights from the Dukes of Austria in 1299 and later came under Lucerne's control in 1415, maintaining its administrative status.

The Kapuzinermuseum in Sursee presents local history through exhibitions of religious art, while the Kunsthaus hosts contemporary art displays throughout the year.

The municipality offers multiple accommodation options, outdoor activities, and dining establishments, with direct transportation connections to Lucerne and Zurich.

A prehistoric pile-dwelling settlement at Halbinsel in Sursee belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site collection of Alpine lake dwellings.
