Deep under the modern road bridge over the Old Town and the Elbe River in Děčín, there is a hidden stone bridge over the Ploučnice River, dating back to the 16th century.

The sandstone road bridge with a group of saints' statues dates from 1564-1569, but was built using late Gothic style elements. Above the central pillar is a group of statues by Michal Jan Brokoff from 1714.

HISTORY
The construction was carried out between 1564 and 1569 by the builder S. Hölle and the master stonemason H. Franck. The Baroque group of statues from 1714 comes from the Brokoff workshop, specifically from M. J. J. Brokoff, the pedestal was previously attributed to J. B. Santini-Aichel without credible justification.
