Djurgårdsbron, Steel and wrought iron arch bridge in Östermalm, Sweden
Djurgårdsbron is a steel arch bridge with wrought iron details that connects mainland Östermalm to the island of Djurgården. The structure is supported by four decorated pillars and displays craftwork details including reliefs of sea creatures and ornamental bands above shields.
The bridge opened in 1897 as a modern gateway to the island, replacing an older iron structure that had been removed two years before. It remains the key connection between central Stockholm and Djurgården.
The four thick pillars display sculptures of Norse gods that visitors notice while crossing. These figures connect Swedish identity with ancient traditions and give this bridge a cultural presence you sense immediately.
The bridge is open year-round and allows both pedestrians and vehicles to cross between central Stockholm and the island with ease. The crossing is well-lit and offers clear views of the water and surroundings.
The bridge displays images of Saint Erik, Stockholm's patron saint, on its decorative shields. This religious symbolism is woven throughout the design and adds another layer of meaning to its appearance.
