De Reesluis – Bridge 64 | Information and history

Posted on April 6, 2023July 24, 2023

There has been a bridge at the location of Reesluis for centuries. Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode drew the bridge on his map in 1625 when the bridge is shown as extension of the Rhee Straet over the Prince Graft. Thanks to a painting by Reinier Nooms from about 1664 and a drawing by Willem Hekking from about 1845, it appears that there was a vault bridge with three passages. See picture 3.
