Among numerous building objects of the Castle and Chateau of Český Krumlov a distinctive multistorey timber bridge connecting the main palace with the Baroque Theatre is probably the most spectacular one. The space, hidden between two formerly independent timber framed galleries, offers a unique chance to study its bearing construction. During the first fifty years of its existence, the bridge underwent several major alterations. In the last 250 years its appearance has not changed. The imprints of former roofing visible on walls as well as other details helped to reveal the sequence of changes. The survey results were verified by dendrochronological analysis.
