The railway bridge in Racławice Śląskie, also called the "Hanging" bridge, is a crossing over the valley of the Osobłoga river, which was opened in 1904. It was built in place of the former arcade bridge with a stone structure, destroyed by a flood at the beginning of the 20th century. The bridge is unique on a national scale due to the application of a single-span structure with a span length of 119 meters. In 1921, Silesian insurgents planted explosives under the pillars of the bridge, which led to a temporary halt of traffic on the crossing. The bridge was part of the railway line between Racławice Śląskie and Głubczyce, which was decommissioned at the beginning of the 21st century.
