Brief description: The present bridge was originally built in the 13th century. During this time it has been damaged several times always being rebuilt afterwards. Most of the damage was done to protect the inhabitants of the city from invading armies.

An original bridge was built by the Romans, which was situated about 200 meters to the south. Recently remains of this bridge have been found on the bottom of the river "Maas".

The photograph was taken from the more modern Wilhelminabrug.
