Werrabrücke Creuzburg, Medieval stone bridge in Creuzburg, Germany
The Werrabrücke spans 86 meters across the Werra River with seven arches made of yellow sandstone and limestone from local quarries.
Built in 1223 by Landgrave Ludwig IV of Thuringia, the bridge replaced a wooden structure and included a defensive tower at its eastern end.
The bridge forms an architectural ensemble with the Gothic Liborius Chapel, constructed in 1499 on the eastern bank of the river.
Since 1986, the bridge serves exclusively as a pedestrian crossing, while vehicle traffic uses a concrete bridge constructed 100 meters upstream.
The bridge features wedge-shaped ice breakers on its pillars, with only four of the six supports permanently standing in the water.
