Built in the 13th century, to connect a number of mill buildings to the mainland, the Spreuer Bridge was decorated in the mid-17th century with 67 works along the rafters, depicting the Dance of Death Cycle, or ‘Dance Macabre’. The purpose was to remind all – rich and poor - of the ever-present company of death.
