      The three-bay bridge was built around 1762 from sandstone blocks under Land Commander Friedrich Karl von Eyb according to plans by Matthias Binder and replaced the ford of an earlier Roman road. The bridge was built in a simple style without a bridge gate, unlike the plans of the Teutonic Order. On each parapet wall of the bridge there are four life-size figures of saints by Leonhard Meyer, on the left side George, Immaculata, Joseph and Elisabeth, on the right side Anthony of Padua, Leonhard, John of Nepomuk and Francis Xavier. An iron crucifix was placed on the middle of the southern parapet
