Baroque bridge in Náměšť nad Oslavou, Baroque stone bridge in Náměšť nad Oslavou, Czech Republic.

The bridge extends 74.8 meters across the Oslava River with seven arches, featuring twenty limestone sculptures standing two meters tall on its sides.

Count Václav Adrian of Enkenvoirt commissioned the bridge construction in 1737, replacing an earlier structure that had been destroyed by flooding.

The bridge displays twenty statues of saints and angels created between 1737 and 1744 by sculptors Josef Winterhalder and Alexander Jelínek.

Since 1986, the bridge remains reserved for pedestrian traffic after the construction of a new bridge redirected vehicles from the historical structure.

The Czech National Bank recognized the bridge's significance by featuring it on a commemorative gold coin issued in 2012.
