The St. Peter's Bridge dates from 1892. In 2019-2020, it underwent a thorough restoration, requiring its dismantling to be transported to the workshop, where it was carefully cleaned and sandblasted. In addition, some sections were replaced and riveted by hand. No fewer than 1,000 rivets are incorporated into the entire structure. Finally, the bridge was also given a protective coat of paint in striking Brunswick green, its original color.
