Folke Bernadotte's Bridge, Footbridge and bicycle bridge in Djurgården, Sweden.

The 88-meter bridge spans across Djurgårdsbrunn Bay, connecting Museiparken with Rosendal through a three-span vaulted beam structure made of stainless steel.

King Karl XIV Johan established a pontoon bridge at this location in 1820, which operated until 1848 to connect Rosendal Palace with his military training grounds.

The bridge honors Count Folke Bernadotte, the first United Nations mediator after World War II, who lived near Museiparken in Stockholm.

The structure maintains a sail-free height of 3 meters above water level, allowing maritime traffic to pass while providing direct access between northern and southern Djurgården.

The bridge opened on September 17, 2019, with the Swedish royal family leading the first ceremonial walk across its span.
