The Lion Bridge in Vienna (officially the Schemerl Bridge) is one of those structures you often drive past without realizing how much engineering and artistic history it embodies. The bridge is a prime example of Viennese Art Nouveau. It was built between 1894 and 1898. The famous architect Otto Wagner designed it – not just as a bridge, but as part of a gigantic infrastructure project: the regulation of the Danube Canal. The lions appear almost like guardians over this watery gateway to Vienna.
