Gothic Bridge in Lądek-Zdrój

The Saint John Nepomucens Bridge spans across the Biała Lądecka River with its stone construction and Gothic architectural elements dating from the 16th century.

Built in 1565, this stone bridge survived numerous floods and modifications throughout centuries until suffering substantial damage during a catastrophic flood in recent years.

The structure received a stone statue of Saint John of Nepomuk in 1709, which served as a symbolic protection against floods for the local community.

The bridge connects two parts of Lądek-Zdrój, providing essential passage for residents and visitors exploring this spa town in southwestern Poland.

Local builders incorporated chicken eggs into the mortar mixture during construction, according to historical records and regional oral traditions.
