Puvodne tento most pres reku Radbuzu z roku 1913 nesl nazev Most cisare Frantiska Josefa I. Most vystavela firma Muller a Kapsa podle projektu Ing. V. Mencla. Za prvni republiky byl prejmenovan na Wilsonuv most, po americkem prezidentovi, jehoz jmeno je spjato se vznikem samostatneho Ceskoslovenska. Po roce 1948 nesl nejakou dobu nazev Stalinuv most.Tento kamenny most je tvoren dvema segmentovanymi klenbami a naroznimi pavilonky s vyhlidkami nad strednim pilirem. Dnes zni az neuveritelne, ze narozni pavilonky puvodne slouzily pro vyberciho mostneho. Jedna se o unikatni priklad skloubeni vynikajici architektonicke i umelecko-remeslne kamenicke prace. Proziravost a kvalitu prace nasich predku proverila v roce 2002 velka voda. Wilsonuv most obstal na vybornou.
