Walenweeshuissluis – Bridge 70 | Map and location

Posted on December 9, 2024December 9, 2024

Bridge 70 in Amsterdam forms the connection between Vijzelstraat and the now filled-in Vijzelgracht. It is located over the Prinsengracht canal. The name Walenweessluis is after the becausse of the nearby orphanage for children from the French or Walloon church. The building was better known in the 20th century as Maison Descartes, the French cultural centre.

The bridge is already shown on Jacob Bosch’s design plan from around 1681, which also shows the orphanage.
