This bridge was built in 1861. The carved gates have made it Trondheim's distinctive hallmark.
A sentry and excise house stood at either end of the bridge. The excise house on the west side is still standing and is now used as a day-care centre. The bridge and gates you see here were built by Carl Adolf Dahl, the executive municipal engineer in charge of public buildings and works in the last half of the 19th century. The wooden gate on the west side of the bridge is known as the Gate of Fortune.
The Old Town Bridge crosses the Nidelva river and leads into Bakklandet.
fantastic work here. great colors and treatment
ReplyDeleteGate of fortune.
ReplyDeleteLeading over to the area of Ola Uteligger or what Vømmøls used to call him. Need to go to Trondheim soon again. Beautiful citY.
Denne brua er bare så fantastisk fin.Masse histore rundt den,og et yndet fotoobjekt for turister som besøker Trondheim.
ReplyDeleteFlott å få se så mange fine bilder av den.
Ha en fin dag!
Very, very picturesque - I love the shots! The gates have an almost oriental look about them.
ReplyDeleteNot sure the white glow shows up on all monitors but it appears that you have cranked up the colors and sharpening a lot or at the limits. It makes the colors and details pop but at the expense of the white glow around the edges. Or at least it does on the three monitors I have. Samsung, Mac, and HP.
ReplyDeleteThe photographs are strikingly beautiful regardless of the white glow on my monitors.
Norway's largest, little bridge - well known, well maintained (and documented!) and a pride to the city.
ReplyDeletePS Jeg se hva Abe mener - kan du ha brukt "Uskarp maske" med for høt radius-verdi?
ÅÅÅÅÅÅ Bybroa er jo bare sååå vakkert. Jeg har mange minner med den. Tror jeg må ta meg en Trondhjemstur snart og da skal jeg love den brua skal bli fotografert. Har selvsagt masse bilder av den, men det er fra før digitalkameraene kom:)
ReplyDeleteKjempegodt valg av bro i BSB:)
this is beautiful - what a colourful neighbourhood - those buildings all look like doll's houses!
ReplyDeleteI think all of these are wonderful...I love that bridge. I love all the shots, but I think the second from the last is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAs for the white, I don't have any glow at all, it is just white. Everything looks normal.
What vibrant colors. Reminds me of a town I visited in Nova Scotia, but it was too long ago and I cant remember the name of the town.

Å så fine høst bilder av broen over alle broer...
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos. Your town is very colorful.
ReplyDeleteKnalltøffe farger gjør bildene helt herlig!
ReplyDeleteDen broen har jeg gått glipp av på mine Trondheimsbesøk...!
The gate of the bridge had almost chinese feeling. Fallen leafs and colours were really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIvar: What a neat bridge and points to good constuction when it is standing for this long. The other thing is the weather it has to endure.
ReplyDeleteDer ja kom bybroa :-)
ReplyDeleteHusker jeg hadde den tidligere jeg også på et bro innlegg. Husker også jeg trasket rundt og tok blider i skumringen. Gud så idiotisk jeg følte meg, og folk hva de glodde du. Nå har jeg heldigvis greid å gi litt mer f... i slike ting. Knipser i vei de underligste ting :-)
Det slår meg nå at dette virker som et attgømm av et fargekart fra Jotun fra de glade 80 årene... :-)
Lykkes portal, halleluja!!
Meget flott bilder. Neste gang må vi stoppe i Tr.Heim og ikke bare på Biltema :)
ReplyDeleteDenne broen blir jeg aldri lei av. Tro jeg har postet bilder av den jeg også. Går litt i surr....
ReplyDeleteNeste gang jeg er i Trondheim så blir det nok et besøk der.
Flotte bilder av ei fantastisk flott bru!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors.
ReplyDeleteThe photos i like more are the third and the fourth. They seem more expressive.
Congratlations.
