Old Weir Bridge, Stone bridge at Meeting of the Waters in Killarney National Park, Ireland
The twin-arch stone bridge connects the pathways across the waterway where Upper Lake flows into Muckross Lake and Lough Leane.
The bridge structure dates from the sixteenth century and survived the substantial floods of September 1867 when nearby buildings were destroyed.
The Detroit Photographic Company documented this bridge through multiple prints between 1890 and 1900, preserving its historical appearance.
Visitors can reach the bridge through Killarney National Park, where narrow boats use the current to navigate through the waterway.
The bridge marks the exact point where the three lakes of Killarney converge, creating a natural intersection in the water system.
