Pont de Berne, Covered bridge across Sarine River in Fribourg, Switzerland.

The Pont de Berne is a covered wooden bridge over the Sarine in Fribourg, the last of its kind in the city. Its present appearance dates from 1653. The central pier is of stone, as is the tuff arch on the south side, now filled with earth.

Built in 1250, a century after Fribourg's founding, the bridge is among the oldest in Switzerland. Its present appearance dates from 1653; the stone central pier and the tuff arch on the south side, now filled with earth, are 17th-century. Until 1838 the tower-gate of the Mouches, set in the Lower Town ramparts, defended it. It has been listed in the inventory of cultural property of national significance since 1995.

The name refers not to the neighbouring canton but to the Bern Gate of Fribourg's Lower Town, which the bridge faced. Until 1838 the crossing was defended by the Mouches gate-tower in the town ramparts. It is now a living street: vehicles still use the deck, and the 2023 works renewed the roof and the roadway planking.

The bridge carries a roadway as well as pedestrians, and its oak decking and roof were due for renewal after 2023 inspections found weak beams and leaks. It stands in the Basse-Ville, with the Gottéron flowing into the Sarine a few metres downstream. The upstream bridges of la Motta, Saint-Jean and du Milieu lie close by.

Until 1838, the bridge was protected by the Mouches gate-tower, an opening in the Lower Town ramparts. The stone central pier and the tuff arch on the south side, now filled with earth, date from the 17th century. The bridge has been listed in the inventory of Swiss cultural property of national significance since 1995.
