Bridge guarded by a patron saint

Torso of Jánský bridge

The original wooden bridge arching over the Ohře River near the porcelain factory was replaced by a new bridge with a wooden bridge deck carried by four stone piers. The statue of Czech patron Saint John of Nepomuk was installed on one of the piers in 1734. As the Baroque bridge could not keep up with increasing traffic, another bridge was built of concrete in its vicinity between the years 1927 and 1928. The statue of the saint was moved to the site of the original Baroque bridge at the edge of Zahradní Street.
