Gotthard Bridge

Other - other

The St. Gotthard Bridge is one of the Gothic small bridges that has survived almost intact to this day. Today, it spans the Ticce riverbed, a former backwater of the Tisza River. It is similar to the famous Hortobágy Nine-Aperture Bridge. However, this structure has only four arches. It probably dates from the 14th century. Its name is associated with the Premontrean monks. It was given the name in the early 18th century based on the cult of St. John of Nepomuk and St. Gotthard. The Leles Monastery was spread throughout the region by members of the order from Bohemia. The bridge is 70 m long and its internal width is 5 meters. It is considered a monument.
