The bank bridge is located next to the bank assignment bank — hence its name. The construction of the bridge was completed in 1826, and the crossing was designed by Wilhelm von Tretter.

The main feature of the bridge is griffins with gilded wings. These mighty animals not only became one of the symbols of the city on the Neva River, but also appeared on the logo of the famous Krupskaya confectionery factory. Sculptor P. P. Sokolov said. By the way, he is also the author of sculptures of other famous lions on the [Lion Bridge] (https://kudago.com/spb/place/lvinyj-most/).

In the evening, the bridge is enveloped in a romantic atmosphere. Here you can often find couples in love walking around the city center and frozen in the middle of this architectural masterpiece. Only artists meet here more often than lovers — Bank Bridge has long been one of the main motifs in their work.

In 2019, a large-scale reconstruction of the bridge was carried out, for which builders even had to remove it for a while. Restorers also worked on the mighty lions, which were returned to their original black color and gilded not only the wings and lanterns above their heads, but also the scallops.
