The Devil’s Bridge (Kuradisild)


The Devil’s Bridge was built in 1913 in honour of the 300th jubilee of tsarist Russia’s Romanov Dynasty, which is memorialized on the bridge by the dates 1613-1913.


The bridge is dedicated to Emperor Alexander I, who signed the founding treaty for the tsarist university - the second official opening of Tartu University, and whose embossed relief decorates the bridge side facing Vallikraavi Street.

Like the Angels´s bridge, its name might also come from a a play of words - it was built under the supervision Werner Maximillian Friedrich Zoege von Manteuffel, whose surname in German translates to "Man-devil".
