Karpin Bridge (Gatchina)

The Karpin Bridge in Gatchina is a pedestrian arch structure made of Pudost stone, spanning an artificial cascade between Karpin Pond and White Lake. The structure connects two parts of Long Island in the Palace Park and got its name from the pond where silver carp were bred for the tsar's table. The bridge's railing is made in the form of a solid stone wall with volute-shaped endings, and the platforms in front of the benches are covered with stone slabs. A restoration project for the object was developed in 1971, and according to its terms, a spillway dam was provided for under the bridge.
