Kungsbron

Kungsbron is one of the city's oldest bridges, dating back to the 17th century when it was built in wood. After the great fire of 1777, it was rebuilt in stone - and it is the bridge we walk across today.

Look closely at the stone arches and the simple anchor ties that hold the structure together - these small details tell you about the building skills of the time. You'll see more anchor slopes on buildings in the city - and the shapes vary depending on the period they're from.
