The Stone Bridge, known as the Humpbacked Bridge, is located in Voronezh at the intersection of Karl Marx and Chernyshevsky streets. It was built between August and September 1826 according to the design of city architect I. A. Blitsyn under Governor N. I. Krivtsov.
In 1984-1986, in honor of the city's 400th anniversary, the bridge was renovated according to the design of architect A. V. Pospyev. In 2011, a second reconstruction was carried out for the 425th anniversary of Voronezh.
The bridge is less than 10 meters long, and there is a steep descent to the embankment of the Voronezh Reservoir beneath it. The bridge has become a popular spot for wedding ceremonies. Newlyweds come here on their wedding day, break a bottle of champagne on the bridge, and hang locks with their names, believing that this ritual will ensure a strong and happy marriage. The bridge is also known as the 'Lovers' Bridge.'
