Marmorbrücke in Villmar

The Marmorbrücke spans across the Lahn River with three arches, each extending 21.5 meters, supported by two sturdy river pillars constructed from limestone blocks.

Built between 1894 and 1895, the bridge replaced a ferry service and provided direct access to the railway station and marble quarries for Villmar residents.

The bridge features decorative elements made from different varieties of Lahn marble, showcasing the regional stone craftsmanship of the late 19th century.

Following extensive renovation in 1994, the bridge continues to serve as a vital connection between the town center and the railway line on the opposite bank.

A statue of John of Nepomuk stands on the bridge, commemorating the Sudeten German refugees who found shelter in Villmar in 1946.
