Steenhouwerijbrug – Bridge 45 | History and information

Posted on April 5, 2022October 6, 2023

Steenhouwerijbrug history and information
This bridge has a very similar history to #brug44 including it being a slab bridge at the end of the 19th century because the adjacent #bridge46, also an arch bridge had collapsed over the Keizersgrachtand again recent renovations converted it to a more aesthetically pleasing arched bridge. The bridge is drawn on the boundary between the built-up area and his design for the new district south of the Leidsegracht. Frederick de Wits map from 1688 shows the bridge in place.
