Falkenberg Bridge, Stone bridge in Falkenberg, Sweden

Falkenberg Bridge crosses the Ätran river using five stone arches built with precise craftsmanship from the 18th century. The structure displays the classical features of stone architecture from that period with its solid construction methods.

Carl Hårleman drew up the plans in 1756, but Carl Cronstedt later modified the design to include five arches instead of four. This change resulted in the structure that stands at this location today.

The bridge links the two sides of town and serves as a natural meeting point in local daily life. When you cross it, you notice how central this structure remains to the community's everyday rhythms.

The crossing is easily accessible and used daily by pedestrians and vehicles alike. It is a reliable way to cross the river, with a solid surface maintained year-round.

Next to the bridge stood a building that housed a pub and a printing press for Falkenbergs Tidning, a local newspaper. This structure disappeared in 1933, but the story remains part of local memory.
