Pont du Faisan, Swing bridge in Strasbourg, France
The Pont du Faisan features a rotating mechanism that allows the structure to pivot horizontally, enabling boats to pass through the waterway beneath.
Constructed in 1888, the bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure from the 14th century that served as a crucial crossing point over the Ill River.
The bridge stands as an example of industrial engineering achievement in Strasbourg, where French and German architectural influences intersect throughout the city.
Visitors can access the bridge via Rue des Moulins, with several public transportation options available within walking distance of the structure.
The bridge underwent a complete renovation in 1999, incorporating modern hydraulic systems while maintaining its original steel and wood construction methods.
