Grosch Bridge

Local name: Most Groszowy

The Groszowy Bridge in Opole is also called the Green Bridge or Bridge of Love. It is a pedestrian crossing, which at the turn of the 19th century merged the villa streets of Mozart with Pasieka Island. It is a metal Art Nouveau structure over the Canal Młynówka. In recent years, on the railing of their lovers, they hang their hearts with their initials as a sign of eternal love.

Plans for the construction of the Pasieka crossing appeared in the mid-nineteenth century. At that time, the City Beautification Committee was planning to develop the island, to create alleys and walkways. The first footbridge was built in 1894. For the transition, a fee of 1 penny was charged. Hence the name of the bridge.

The iron bridge was built in 1906. It has Art Nouveau, floral decorations. Due to its color, it was called Green Bridge. Today, more than 100 years after the construction of the name of the Bridge of Love has become more and more popular. The barriers of the crossing began to cover more and more numerous padlocks, a symbol of love of other loved opolans and tourists.
