The first bridge on this site was built in 1691. It was so small that it deserved the name "skinny" or "skinny bridge". Subsequently, it was repeatedly rebuilt and rebuilt. In 1969, the last restoration work was carried out. They haven't changed the look of the bridge - it looks pretty much the same as it did 300 years ago and is painted the same white.
