Budapest Bridge (Margaret or Margit)

"Budapest Bridge"

Margaret Bridge (also called Margit Bridge) is a three-way bridge in Budapest (capital of Hungary) that connects Buda and Pest across the Danube river and links to Margaret Island's most southern bank. It is the second-northernmost and second-oldest public bridge in Budapest. It spans the Danube river.

It was designed by French engineer Ernest Goüin and built by the construction company Maison Ernest Goüin et Cie. between 1872 and 1876. The Margaret Bridge was the second oldest bridge in Budapest after Széchenyi Chain Bridge.

All the bridges of Budapest were blown up by World War II Wehrmacht sapper troops in January 1945 during their retreat to the Buda side of the surrounded capital. However, the Margaret Bridge had been damaged earlier, on November 4, 1944, when an explosion destroyed the eastern span of the bridge.
