Saint John Bridge spanning the river Nysa Klodzka in Klodzko, Lower Silesia (Poland)

John of Nepomuk, confessor of the queen of Bohemia, refused to divulge the secrets of the confessional. At the behest of King Wenceslaus of Bohemia he was thrown from the Charles Bridge in Prague and drowned. John of Nepomuk is patron saint of bridges and this bridge takes its name from him.

Bohemian legend.
