At first, Seesicht looks like a simple steel door. But if you open it and walk down the metal staircase, you’ll find a massive window that offers a view underneath the water’s surface.

This interactive sculpture offers a unique view into Lake Zug from the shores of the historic town of the same name. Designed by renowned Swiss artist Roman Signer, this installation was completed in 2015 and continues to fascinate curious passersby who are free to take a look inside as long as it is between dawn and dusk.
