Description
Barokní most is a stone arch bridge that crosses the Stržský potok stream in the town center. It carries road traffic and features eight decorative stone statues positioned along both sides of its railings.
History
The bridge was built in the 18th century when Žďár nad Sázavou was growing from a monastic settlement into a trade center. Its architectural style reflects the building methods that were common in the region at that time.
Culture
The Baroque style shapes how this bridge looks and how people move through the town center. The eight statues lining the railings reflect the artistic traditions that were important when the bridge was built.
Practical
The bridge can be crossed on foot or by car and provides easy access between different parts of town. It sits at ground level and connects naturally with the surrounding streets.
