About Östra Bron

In the heart of Karlstad, the mighty Östra Bron acts as an architectural bridge between past and present over the flowing waters of the Klarälven river. Built in the early 1800s with its twelve impressive stone arches, the bridge testifies to the city's development and its importance as a hub for trade and communication. This feat of engineering from yesteryear stands today as a symbol of Karlstad's history and its connections across the water.
