The town's landmark, this Renaissance-style road bridge spans the Vienne River, linking the town center to the Châteauneuf district.

Completely renovated in 2022-2023, this Renaissance-style road bridge is an emblem of the city. Its design can be attributed to Philibert Delorme, and construction began in the late 16thcentury . It spans the Vienne River, linking the city center to the Châteauneuf district. It is built of Pinail stone and tuffeau and features nine arches, all fitted with large cow horns. Two imposing slate-covered towers stand on the left bank, evoking the structure's defensive function as well as its role as a checkpoint at the entrance to the town.

Pont Henri-IV 86100 Châtellerault
Le Pont Henri IV à Châtellerault est un très beau et large pont en pierres, offrant une traversée piétonne en toute sécurité. La porte d'entrée a été amputée de son pavillon central et seules subsistent d'époque les deux tours qui encadrent le Pont. Beaux points de vue sur la Vienne depuis le Pont Henri IV. La Vigeanne est régulièrement amarrée au Pont Henri IV. C'est la reproduction d'un bateau traditionnel, la gabarre, bateau de transport à fond plat, synonyme d'activité commerciale florissante entre la fin du Moyen Age et le XIXe siècle où Châtellerault était l'une des principales villes portuaires du Bassin de la Loire. Incontournable et bien joli à contempler selon moi !
