The six arches are original, but the seventh is 1768, which is twice the normal width; it is intended to pass a raft. Six bridges in the Middle Ages were built on dry ground; the construction personnel caused the construction pit in the protective wall to cause water flow. Unfortunately, the entrance towers guarding the two bridges on both sides did not survive. The first was the victim of the 1768 flood (it is said that the poor watchman was swept away by the tower), while the second tower was unsuitable for the growing traffic demand and was ruthlessly demolished in 1825.

This bridge has been hit by several floods over the centuries, for example in 1432 and 1768. The most demanding test was obviously the "Millennium Flood" in 2002, when the water level in Otava rose so high that it was destroyed by a stone wall. However, despite the fact that the current strength has increased by a factor of fifty, the bridge itself has also withstood the flood.
