As part of the castle, the Cloak Bridge (Plášťový most), also known as the Cascade Bridge, connects the Upper Castle with the Baroque castle theater, the Fifth Courtyard and the castle garden. The bridge consists of three floors with arches and columns, an open covered floor with sculptural decoration and three closed floors with two connecting corridors. The lower corridor connects the Masquerade Hall with the castle theater, the upper corridor connects the castle picture gallery with the castle garden and continues to the Minorite Monastery on the Lateran. In the Middle Ages, a moat was dug here, which was spanned by a footbridge with a drawbridge. The Cloak Bridge was built here successively in 1686, 1707, 1748 and 1765. Duke Josef I Adam of Schwarzenberg was responsible for the baroque design.

PLÁŠŤOVÝ MOST

The first mention of PLÁŠŤOVÝ MOST dates back to the 15th century. at the time it was probably just a wooden bridge. More from the inventory of Rudolf II. Habsburg we learn about the "drawbridge on a shell with a gate and a wicket". The new owner of the estate, Jan Christian I. from Eggenberk, began in 1686 with the construction of a new wooden bridge over the ravine to the upper castle garden. In 1706, the first wooden version of the covered corridor to the upper garden was built, supported by stone columns. The entrance to it was from an art gallery on the second floor of the castle, and this corridor has survived to this day. At that time, there was already a castle theater, connected by a staircase.
