Pont Henri-IV, Châtellerault
Pont Henri-IV, Châtellerault, Stone arch bridge in Châtellerault, France
The Pont Henri-IV extends 150 meters across the Vienne River with nine structural spans supported by stone foundations and arches.
Construction of the bridge began during the reign of Henry II in 1556 and concluded in 1609 after forty years of continuous work.
The bridge represents French engineering excellence from the Renaissance period, potentially designed by architect Philibert Delorme.
The structure underwent extensive restoration work in 2022, funded by the Department of Vienne and Regional Cultural Affairs Direction of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
The bridge complex housed various institutions throughout its history, including a salt tax office, schools, a prison, and an archaeological museum.
