Jagstbrücke Kloster Schöntal, Stone bridge near Schöntal Abbey, Germany.

The five-arched stone bridge spans across the Jagst River, connecting both banks near the historical Schöntal Abbey complex.

Built in 1609, the bridge served as a crucial transportation link for the Cistercian monastery, facilitating trade and movement between settlements.

The bridge features a statue of Saint John Nepomuk, reflecting the religious significance and architectural traditions of German bridge construction.

The structure continues to function as a road bridge, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to cross while serving as a connection point for regional hiking trails.

The bridge construction demonstrates medieval engineering techniques with its symmetrical arches and limestone masonry that withstood centuries of river floods.
