Water tower edit
The Wasserturm (water tower) is no water tower in the sense of the article, but a part of the city fortifications. It is only named "Wasserturm" because it is, in contrast to all other towers in Lucerne, standing in the water. It does not, and never did, serve as a water reservoir!

The date it was built and the fact that it's the oldest bridge should be stated within the first three sentences, in my opinion,
