Beautiful contrast between the Early 20th century stone and steel construction ("old bridge ") and post modern and almost invisible wooden pedestrian bridge at its foot.

Built in 1913, the bridge is 270 meters long. When it was opened, it was one of the most magnificent structures of its kind in Austria-Hungary. In April 1941, Adolf Hitler and his entourage crossed the Old Bridge after the conquest of the city.

The two-story, circular defense tower with the two-tiered brick conical roof is a defensive structure whose monumental mass protected the southwest corner of the city walls. Its angular predecessor was built in 1310, but was demolished in 1532. The Reckturm was then built between 1548 and 1562. It got its popular name as the "court tower" during the time of the witch trials: women accused of witchcraft were found guilty and sentenced here. In 1937 the tower burned down and the roof and wooden floors collapsed. Rebuilt between 1957 and 1960, the tower was completely rebuilt in 2021. Since then it has been used as a cultural center for events.

The main bridge was built between 1909 and 1913 and the opening ceremony took place on August 23, 1913. The new bridge replaced the old wooden Drava Bridge, which until then stood a few dozen meters west of the current bridge and was later demolished. The construction of the new bridge was due to the increase in road traffic along the Triester Straße in the direction of Vienna-Trieste. The bridge was built according to the plans of the Viennese architect and town planner Eugen Fassbender (1854-1923). The design of the bridge is based on the older railway bridge over the Drava (1864-1866), which lies to the east of it.
