Písek Stone Bridge, Gothic stone bridge in Písek, Czech Republic
The stone bridge spans 109 meters across the Otava River with seven arches supported by six massive stone pillars and medieval architecture details.
Built during the reign of King Otakar II in the third quarter of the 13th century, this structure served as a vital link on the salt trading route.
The bridge features replicas of Baroque statues and crosses, with the original elements preserved in the Prácheň Museum after the 2002 floods.
Pedestrians can cross this national cultural monument while admiring the views of the river and accessing the historical center of Písek.
Standing as the oldest preserved bridge in the Czech Republic, it competed with the Stone Bridge of Regensburg for the title in Central Europe.
