The Malters clock
The parish church of Malters is consecrated to St. Martin and is one of the early places of worship built in Switzerland. The actual parish church of St. Martin was erected between 1833 and 1839 – with the highest steeple in the canton of Lucerne. The tower-clock in the spire was part of the new building.
In 1838 Leonz Suter from Kleewald, Rothenburg LU, manufactured the clock for the church of Malters as one of the last wrought iron clocks in Switzerland. He built another identical clock with two full hour striking works for the parish church of Sempach LU
