Zwierzyniecki Bridge, Steel bridge near Zoological Garden in Wrocław, Poland.

Two parallel steel lattice arches span across the Old Oder River, featuring four red sandstone obelisks and period street lamps for nighttime illumination.

Built in 1897 to replace a wooden structure from 1655, the bridge survived World War II when German forces intended to destroy it during the siege.

The Art Nouveau architectural elements, including decorative obelisks and metalwork, represent the engineering and artistic achievements of late 19th century Poland.

The 62-meter-long and 21.8-meter-wide structure connects the city center with several residential districts, including Dąbie, Biskupin, and Sępolno.

During the 1704 plague epidemic, the bridge served as a checkpoint for passes, leading to its former German name Paßbrücke meaning Pass Bridge.
