Saale Bridge, Hollstadt

Highlight • Bridge

This three-span, round-arched bridge from the 18th century was the former Saale Bridge to Hollstadt. On the bridge is a late Baroque sandstone statue depicting Saint Nepomuk. This is fitting for the location, as Nepomuk is considered the bridge saint and patron of the seal of confession.
