Damn bridge to Vasilevo

The famous Devil's Bridge is located in Vasilev, Tver region only 7 kilometers from Torzhok. This is a real masterpiece of architecture, a sample of park construction. It was built without a single attachment of stone boulders. It dates back to the late 19th century. The author of the project is considered local architect Nikolai Lvov. Archivalt technique was used for construction. That is, the design is supported by boulders resting on the cornerstone. This name of the bridge is explained by the fact that the stone blocks 13.

Some experts believe that the architect was inspired by the passage of Suvorov’s troops across the Alps, followed by the storming of the “devil’s bridge”. This is a hundred-meter arched structure with grottoes.

In 2004, the filming of the Russian blockbuster Night Watch by Timur Bekmambetov took place here. The main scene of the battle between good and evil became symbolic. You can get from Torzhok to Vasilev on the Leningrad highway (10-12 kilometers).
