Brückentor by sandysmith
Alte Brücke (old bridge) and Brückentor (Bridge gate) used to be a prison and this makes a very good photo stop don't you think with its portcullis and twin towers;-))The towers were furnished with bell-shaped roofs during its reconstruction 1786-88. This is the fifth bridge here since medieval times...an earlier wooden one collapsed from the weight of ice. There is a staute on the bridge of its builder - Elector Karl Theodor - one of Aathena and of the bridge's patron saint - Johannes Nepomuk - who guards it from the opposite end.
