Ankerbrua was built over the Aker River to serve as an extension of Torggata along Ankertorget with Søndre gate. The former wooden bridge had been constructed in 1874. It was replaced by the current granite structure in 1926.
The bridge has been nicknamed the Fairytale Bridge due to its four sculptures, one in each corner. These sculptures were designed by Norwegian sculptor and artist, Dyre Vaa. Cast from bronze in 1937, each figure represents a different Norwegian folk hero from Norwegian Folktales.
