Art nouveau pedestrian bridge. Built near end of XIX century as part of a path from the city to Pasieka island, villa district. This metal bridge has replaced an earlier woodenbridge in the same place, linking Castle with Regierungsbezirk (siege of regional administration).

Also called "Penny bridge", because every pedestrian had to pay a penny (or rather German pfenning) to cross the bridge.
