Owcza Góra Fortress
Remote fort of Kłodzko Fortress, which is a defense system from the 17th and 18th centuries. Fort on the Owcza Góra was supposed to make it impossible to fire the Main Fortress from the top of the hill, as well as facilitate the observation of the advanced north-eastern forelands and improve the control of the road towards Wrocław. Its function also included complete protection of the eastern approach to the fortress, extension of the "field of view" of the defenders from the eastern side and blocking the Nysa Kłodzka valley and the road to Wrocław.
Gothic Bridge
Historic stone bridge over the Młynówka River. The bridge has the characteristics of a Gothic building and connects the Piasek Island and the old part of Kłodzko on Forteczna Góra with the market square and the fortress, constituting in the past a part of one of the main communication routes in this part of the city. The bridge is closed to vehicular traffic.
On the pillars of the bridge there are six stone sculptures depicting: the Holy Trinity and the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint. John of Nepomuk, the most popular saint in the region, Crucifixion, Saint. Franciszek Ksawery, the patron protecting the disease, Peta and Saint. Wenceslas. Due to its architecture, the bridge is often compared to the famous Charles Bridge in Prague, but also often - from the street name - called "the bridge of Veit Stoss", or "the bridge of St. John. The bridge had the unofficial name "bridge on eggs" in the past. The name comes from the fact that the bridge was built on a mortar of chicken egg protein, lime and sand.
