Charles Bridge Museum, Historical museum near Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic.
The Charles Bridge Museum is a collection housed in a historic building next to the famous medieval stone bridge spanning the Vltava River in Prague. The rooms display original artifacts, construction models, and replicas of bridge sculptures that explain how this structure was built and why it matters to the city.
The museum occupies space in a former medieval hospital and church that once served travelers on the Royal Route through the city. The building itself became a natural repository for artifacts about the bridge, preserving knowledge of its construction across generations.
The museum displays replicas of the bridge statues and shares stories about the Gothic church connected to the Order of the Cross with Red Star. These elements reflect the spiritual and artistic traditions that shaped the medieval bridge and its surroundings.
Plan to spend at least an hour exploring the different rooms and displays at a comfortable pace. The museum is easy to walk to and sits right beside the famous bridge in the heart of the old city center.
Inside the museum, visitors can see remains of the older Judith Bridge that once stood in this location centuries ago. This quiet reminder shows how Prague replaced its river crossing as construction methods and needs evolved.
