The Old Bridge in Kampot, also known as the Entanou Bridge or Rainbow Bridge, was constructed in 1923 during the French colonial period. Initially serving as a railway bridge until the 1940s, it has since become an iconic landmark of Kampot, cherished by locals and visitors alike.

Today, it stands as a testament to Kampot's rich history and resilience, offering picturesque views against the backdrop of Bokor Mountain. The Old Bridge in Kampot was bombed multiple times during different conflicts:

World War II (1940s):

The bridge was partially destroyed during Japanese occupation and Allied bombings in World War II.

The bridge was heavily damaged during the Cambodian Civil War (1967–1975) and the Khmer Rouge regime (1975–1979).

Some sections were blown up by retreating Khmer Rouge forces in an effort to slow down advancing Vietnamese troops during their 1979 invasion that led to the fall of the regime. After these events, the bridge was patched up using different materials, leading to its mismatched appearance today.
