Karpin bridge, Historic bridge in Gatchina, Russia
The Karpin Bridge spans between the Karpin Pond and White Lake, connecting two sections of Long Island in the Palace Park of Gatchina Museum Reserve.
Built in 1792 by architect V. Brenna, the bridge was destroyed in 1944 during German occupation and reconstructed in 1984 based on historical documentation.
The bridge name derives from the adjacent Karpin Pond, where silver carps were raised to supply the royal table of Paul I and other imperial family members.
The single-span arch structure combines reinforced concrete construction with limestone facades and granite supports, functioning both as a bridge and a dam foundation.
The bridge architecture features solid parapets and vertical abutments resembling a fortress bastion, reflecting the grand style of Gatchina Palace Park.
