Sychrovský viadukt, Railway viaduct in Radimovice, Czech Republic.
Description
Sychrovský viadukt is a stone railway viaduct extending 120 meters in length and standing 32 meters high above the terrain below. It features eight stone arches stacked in two tiers that carry trains across the valley.
History
The viaduct was built between 1857 and 1859 by brothers Klein and Vojtěch Lanna as part of the South-North rail connection through the Austrian Empire. This line opened new routes for freight and passenger travel across the Bohemian region.
Culture
The viaduct represents how rail engineering shaped the landscape and regional connections in the Austrian Empire era. Travelers crossing it experience the tangible presence of 19th-century construction methods in the surrounding Bohemian countryside.
Practical
The structure sits along the active railway line and is still used by regular train services in both directions. Visitors can view the viaduct from nearby paths or experience it firsthand while traveling by rail.
Did you know?
The structure employs an unusual double-tier design where upper semicircular arches rest directly on six lower, more tightly compressed arches below. This technical approach was innovative for its time and allowed the engineers to span greater distances across deeper terrain.
