Gezicht op de Tellskapelle te Uri 1880 - 1900

This is an anonymous photograph of the Tellskapelle in Uri. The chapel is located on the shores of Lake Lucerne, a site laden with historical and cultural significance. The Tellskapelle is dedicated to William Tell, a legendary Swiss folk hero whose story is deeply intertwined with the nation's identity and struggle for independence. Tell, as the story goes, was a symbol of resistance against oppression, embodying the values of courage, freedom, and self-determination. It’s said that he leapt from a boat onto this very spot. The chapel has become a pilgrimage site, where individuals and groups come to reflect on Swiss heritage. This image not only captures the architectural details of the chapel, but also serves as a reminder of the stories, values, and collective memories associated with William Tell and the Swiss struggle for autonomy.
