Stone Bridge

Stone Bridge is a stone structure that spans the Iset River on Malysheva Street, connecting the eastern and western sections of Yekaterinburg. The crossing features a solid stone construction with arched spans typical of 19th-century engineering style.

Architect Ernst Christian Georg Sartorius designed the structure, overseeing construction between 1840 and 1844 to create a lasting crossing over the Iset River. The work gained recognition as a federal cultural heritage site in 1974.

The bridge has long served as a natural meeting point where locals and visitors cross between different quarters of the city. It remains woven into daily routines and the way people navigate this part of Yekaterinburg.

The structure serves pedestrians and vehicles equally, reliably connecting the northern and southern areas of the city. Its wide surface allows comfortable crossing even during busy periods.

Local stone from the Ural region was favored during construction, giving the bridge a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. This choice of material has allowed the structure to remain steadfast for nearly two centuries.
