Covered wooden bridge over the river Reuss

The covered wooden bridge stretches across the Reuss River, featuring four stone pillars that support its traditional timber construction and protective roof structure.

Originally constructed around 1240 during the Habsburg period, the current bridge structure dates from 1953 and incorporates modern engineering while maintaining historical design elements.

The bridge holds status as a Class B Swiss cultural property, reflecting the regional architectural traditions and historical transportation methods of the Aargau canton.

Located at coordinates 47.35029 latitude and 8.34037 longitude on Stadtstrasse, the bridge connects both sides of Bremgarten for pedestrian traffic since 1994.

The bridge underwent a transformation in 1544 when master builder Albrecht Murer replaced the wooden supports with stone pillars, marking a significant engineering advancement.
