Journaling: We walked down to the Danube and the Chain Bridge on a very warm and windy afternoon. Until the mid-19th century, locals had to depend on pontoons or a frozen river to travel between Buda and Pest. When Count Istvan Szechenyi was stranded for a week trying to get to his father’s funeral, he commissioned Scotsman Adam Clark to construct Budapest’s first permanent bridge. The building of the bridge between 1842 and 1849 dovetailed nicely with another of his pet causes: uniting Buda and Pest. Szechenyi charged both commoners and nobles a fee for crossing the bridge, quickly making it a symbol of equality and of Budapest itself. Like all of Budapest’s bridges, the Chain Bridge was destroyed by the Nazis at the end of World War II, but it was soon rebuilt. 05.13.11
