Fantastic place to walk👍👍👍 Gamle Bybro crosses the Nidelva River from the south end of the main street Kjøpmannsgata connecting to the Trondheim neighborhood of Bakklandet.Gamle Bybro was constructed by Johan Caspar von Cicignon in 1681 in conjunction with the reconstruction of Trondheim after the great fire of 1681.Johan Caspar von Cicignon laid out plans for the reconstruction of Trondheim as well as its fortification. Kristiansten Fortress was built at this time after his plans. The bridge location was of military-strategic significance. King Christian V of Denmark assumed the cost of construction. It was completed in 1685. The bridge was built in the vicinity of the original Elgeseter Bridge. When it was opened the older bridge was allowed to decay and collapse. Since then Gamle Bybro has undergone many changes.

Originally Gamle Bybro was constructed of wood, but the wood was supported on three stone piers. In the middle of the bridge, an iron gate was placed. This remained a guarded city gate until 1816. At each end of the bridge there was a toll and guardhouse. The access house on the west end still stands, but that on the east side was taken down in 1824. Gamle Bybro was reconstructed in 1861 by the engineer Carl Adolf Dahl (1828-1907). Today Gamle Bybro is one of Trondheim's characteristic landmarks.

Gamle Bybro is also known as Lykkens portal (Gate of Happiness), after the lyrics of the popular waltz Nidelven stille og vakker du er ( "Nidelven quiet and beautiful you are") by Norwegian singer and composer Kristian Oskar Hoddø (1916-1943). According to tradition, Hoddø wrote the waltz about the Nidelva River one night in late April 1940 while he was standing at Gamle Bybro. Oskar Hoddø was a member of the resistance movement against the Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. He was executed in Trondheim on 17 November 1943 along with eight other Norwegian...

The Old Town Bridge in Trondheim is a charming and historically significant landmark. This picturesque wooden bridge, dating back to the 17th century, spans the Nidelva River, connecting the old and new parts of the city. Its vibrant red color, quaint design, and historic ambiance make it a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. The bridge offers a fantastic vantage point for capturing beautiful photos of the surrounding waterfront and the colorful old warehouses. It's a delightful spot to take a leisurely stroll, soak in the city's atmosphere, and appreciate the fusion of history and modern life in Trondheim. We sat in the sunshine and ate lunch here. I highly...

Il ponte della Città Vecchia si trova a Trondheim , nella contea di Trøndelag , in Norvegia . Gamle Bybro attraversa il fiume Nidelva dall'estremità meridionale della strada principale Kjøpmannsgata che si collega al quartiere di Trondheim di Bakklandet . Gamle Bybro fu costruito da Johan Caspar von Cicignon nel 1681 in concomitanza con la ricostruzione di Trondheim dopo il grande incendio del 1681. Johan Caspar von Cicignon espose i piani per la ricostruzione di Trondheim e per la sua fortificazione. La fortezza di Kristiansten fu costruita in questo periodo secondo i suoi piani. La posizione del ponte era di importanza strategico-militare. Il re Cristiano V di Danimarca si assunse i costi di costruzione. Fu completato nel 1685. Il ponte fu costruito nelle vicinanze dell'originale ponte Elgeseter . Quando fu aperto, il ponte più vecchio fu lasciato decadere e crollare. Da allora Gamle Bybro ha subito molti cambiamenti. Originariamente Gamle Bybro era costruito in legno, ma il legno era sostenuto da tre pilastri in pietra. Al centro del ponte era posto un cancello di ferro. Questo rimase un cancello cittadino sorvegliato fino al 1816. A ciascuna estremità del ponte c'erano un pedaggio e una guardiola . La casa di accesso all'estremità occidentale è ancora in piedi, ma quella sul lato orientale fu abbattuta nel 1824. Gamle Bybro fu ricostruito nel 1861 dall'ingegnere Carl Adolf Dahl (1828-1907). Oggi Gamle Bybro è uno dei punti di riferimento caratteristici di Trondheim. Gamle Bybro è anche conosciuta come Lykkens portal (Porta della felicità), dal testo del famoso valzer Nidelven stille og vakker du er ("Nidelven sei tranquilla e bella") del cantante e compositore norvegese Kristian Oskar Hoddø (1916-1943). Secondo la tradizione, Hoddø scrisse il valzer sul fiume Nidelva una notte di fine aprile 1940 mentre si trovava a...

This is also called Old Town Bridge, a popular spot in the idyllic town of Trondheim in Norway. The town is compact, walkable to most places. This bridge is one of a few attractions, appx 7 min walk from the main cathedral, the view of two sides of the riverbank with colourful rows of houses, is postcard worthy. It is small and short but charming, with benches to rest your feet. There's a park on one side, with some benches and calm river water, a great place to relax, people watch, and for photo ops. Lots of tourists and locals on bicycle or skateboards around. A stroll along the bank is lovely and peaceful ✌️

Die Gamlebrua an sich war jetzt nicht so der Hot Spot. Sie ist schick, gemütlich, ein wenig bepflanzt und hat Sitzbänke. Aber ich kann jetzt die Brücke nicht so feiern. Aber von da aus kann man die anderen Highlights gut zu Fuß erkunden. Was toll ist, sind die Kaffee's/Bar's in unmittelbarer Nähe, die eine Leichtigkeit, bzw ein angenehmes Flair mit sich bringen. Von der Brücke aus ist es nicht weit bis zum Steg Piren, der 2 oder 3 Meter über dem Wasser ragt. Von da aus kann man sich die schicken bunten Häuserfassaden anschauen. Man kann von der Brücke aber auch gut in die Nedre Bakklandet abbiegen und sich von der Gasse verzaubern lassen.

The bridge itself is very beautiful. It has that old feel but looks to be in great condition. Additionally, you can get a great view down the river, with Trondheim's multicolored buildings on each side.
