  2. BRIDGE IN NÁMĚŠŤ COMPARISON OF PHOTOS FROM THE 19th AND 20th CENTURIES AND THE YEAR 2010

  3. The Oslava river flows through a small town Náměšť. This river divides Náměšť into two parts which are connected by a stone Baroque bridge.

  4. SHORTLY FROM THE HISTORY OF THE BRIDGE • In the year 1706 flood ripped off a previous wooden bridge which was built on the place of the present bridge. Damages caused construction of a new stone-brick bridge which would resist possible future floodings.

  5. DESCRIPTION OF THE BRIDGE • The bridge is often called „ small Charles´ bridge“. Apart from Prague Charles´ bridge, it is the biggest bridge with the richest statue decorations. • The idea of building sculptures on bridge pillars is based on Italian Baroque era. • The bridge connects two parts of Náměšť. Both parts are historical. A castle rises above the right bank of the Oslava river.The church of saint John Babtist is on the left bank. There are also a presbytery and a historical school (newly reconstracted).

  6. BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION • Foundations are built by stones and sand. • The bridge is 74,8m long and 8m wide. • There are 0,5m wide rails on both sides of the bridge.Stone statues are set opposite each other on the rails. • Carrying pillars are about 2 m wide. Pillars are joined by spans. The biggest span is 10m wide and about 5m high.

  7. STATUE DECORATION OF BRIDGE • 20 sculptures from 18th century are set on the bridge. • Josef Winterhalter is thought to be the designer of those statues by mistake. He created only eight of them. Others were cut according to his models. • Statues perform mainly angels (archangel Gabriel, archangel Michael, archangel Rafael and the angel from the heaven gate), saints (for example Jan Nepomucký, saint Anna, saint František).
