St. Mary Magdalene Church in Wroclaw and the Witches' Bridge

This gothic church from the 13th century is located near Rynek square. The church was hardly damaged during WWII and rebuilt from 1947 to 1953. There is a bridge connecting the two towers of the church. It called the Witches' Bridge or the Penitent Bridge. The legend tells about a girl from Wroclaw who didn't want to marry. So she was kidnapped and placed on the bridge. And had to sweep it until the end of time as a punishment. Visitors can climb to the bridge. It costs a few zlotys and demands strenuous climbing.
