The eight-span bridge over the Thur River is the largest surviving late medieval bridge in Switzerland. According to legend, a woman from Hohenzorn donated the stone bridge for her two sons who drowned in the flood. Instead of paying the usual toll, the Lord's Prayer was to be recited for all the mothers of the world.
