Viljandi Suspension Bridge
The bridge made by the Riga company Felser & Co in 1879 was erected amid the castle hills in Viljandi in 1931. It was a present by the lord of the Tarvastu Manor Karl von Mensenkampf.
Interesting to know: *The bridge is over 50 m long. * It was erected over a valley which is 15 m deep. * At first, the bridge was located over the moat in Tarvastu to make it easier for the family of the lord to visit the chapel in the ruins. The suspension bridge has become a favourite object of both citizens and visitors of Viljandi and one of the town’s important symbols. It was reconstructed in 1995.

Exceptional sight in the middle of beautiful nature
Do go and see the bridge. It is well worth a visit because of the beautiful scenery, too. The bridge is beautiful and naturally along the way to the ruins of the Viljandi Order Castle.

Nicely restored suspension bridge
Nicely restored suspension bridge. We would not have known that it was here though without the tour guide taking us this way out of the castle ruins.
