Skeppsholmsbron, Metal bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden

The Skeppsholmsbron extends 165 meters in length and features 5 arches connecting Blasieholmen peninsula to Skeppsholmen island across Stockholm waters.

Constructed in 1861 as Sweden's first forged iron bridge, Skeppsholmsbron replaced earlier wooden structures that dated back to the Swedish Navy presence in 1638.

The bridge displays gilded crowns at its center, representing the Swedish monarchy and serving as a symbol of national identity within Stockholm's landscape.

The structure includes a 5.5-meter roadway and two 2-meter pedestrian paths, providing essential access between Stockholm's mainland and Skeppsholmen's museums.

The bridge received protection status in 1935 along with other structures on Skeppsholmen, preventing alterations to its exterior until policy changes in the 1990s.
