Stone bridge with a gate tower in Stříbro, Renaissance stone bridge with gate tower in Stříbro, Czech Republic.

The bridge spans 60 meters across the Mže River with five arches, including two larger ones for the river and three smaller ones for flood control.

Benedict Volch of Ferrol directed the construction of this sandstone bridge between 1555 and 1560, establishing a vital connection between Stříbro and Prague.

The bridge features a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk created by Lazar Widman in 1721, now preserved in a museum with a replica on display.

Since 2000, the structure serves exclusively as a pedestrian crossing, following extensive renovations that cost approximately 20 million Czech crowns.

This monument represents one of only two bridges in the Czech Republic equipped with bridge gates, sharing this distinction with Charles Bridge in Prague.
