Stormbro, Arch bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark

The Stormbro connects Stormgade with Vindebrogade, spanning 26 meters across the intersection of Slotsholmen Canal and Frederiksholm Canal in Copenhagen.

Constructed at the site of a Swedish attack during the 1659 Storm on Copenhagen, where Danish forces successfully defended their position against 2000 Swedish troops.

The bridge stands as a testament to Danish infrastructure development, designed by architect Martin Nyrop and inaugurated in 1918 with three distinct arches.

This crossing serves motor vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, providing essential access between the City Hall area and Slotsholmen district of Copenhagen.

The stone foundation of Stormbro bears a Latin inscription MDCLX, indicating its original construction date in 1660, one year after the historical battle.
