Built in the 19th century near the Royal Mill. This is the bridge over Vilnia river built at the end of 19th century connecting Malūnų and Maironio streets. The length of the bridge – 18 m. Since the 16th century wooden bridges built were called Bernardine bridges. In 1838 a new wooden bridge was built on brick supports and 32 years later in 1866 was officially named after the Empress Catherine, but this name did stay for long. At the end of the 19th century bridge was officially called Alexander Bridge. In 1877, the city council announced a bid for the construction of two metal bridges across Vilnia, including this one. The metal bridge was completed around 1880. About 1956 the bridge was reconstructed. On April 1 of each year, the border crossing point (BCP) for the pedestrians and passengers of the Republic of Užupis is being established and is called Malūnų Bridge BCP.
