The cannonball comes from the battle for the Andelfinger bridge in 1799 during the second coalition war between French and Austrian troops.

The first Andelfingen bridge was first mentioned in a document in 1324. At that time, Rheinau Abbey granted ferry rights and the bridge toll from Andelfingen. In 1488 Zurich acquired the customs and bridge from the Rheinau fiefdom holder Beringer von Hohenlandenberg. In the following centuries the bridge was structurally altered several times.

In the war year 1799, France and Austria fought for the most important Thur crossing on May 25 in the Second Coalition War. The French fired their cannons from the height of the castle on the imperial batteries set up north of the Thur. The Austrians finally set the contested bridge on fire. The current covered bridge was only built in 1814/15 to replace it.

In 1979 a pedestrian walkway was added.

The wooden structure of the car and pedestrian bridges is very impressive.
