Gedeckte Holzbrücke

A covered wooden bridge over the river Limmat in Baden, built in 1810. There were at least five forerunners to this version, before which there was a ferry. To me, there's something Far Eastern about the design, particularly the windows and their shutters. Another thing to note are the little balcony or window "gardens" on the green building. Especially the middle window on the second row from the top.

The Baden Historical Museum that I've mentioned in a couple of posts is to the right of the bridge. Here's a link to a Google map showing the bridge and surroundings. I was on the right bank looking over to the left when I took this photo. Keep in mind that there's quite a change in elevation over the region around the river and some features I would have expected to be able to see are hidden.
