In the Middle Ages, Vianden was a fortified town, surrounded by a ring wall with 24 semicircular towers and five city gates. In 1679, Marshal de Boufflers had parts of the wall demolished, so that only remnants remain today. Around 1850, the last two city gates – the upper gate in the upper town and the bridge gate – were also removed, as they were considered an obstacle.

The bridge connects the old town with the lower town of Vianden. The statue there is a replica; the original is located in the nearby Église Saint-Nicolas. The original statue of John of Nepomuk dates from around 1740.
