Kipdorpbrug, 16th-century bridge in central Antwerp, Belgium.
The Kipdorpbrug spans 90 meters in length and 7 meters in width, connecting multiple streets including Kipdorpvest, Jezusstraat, and Lange Nieuwstraat in Antwerp.
Construction of the Kipdorpbrug began in 1542 as part of the Spanish city walls, designed by Italian architect Donato Di Boni under Emperor Charles V's orders.
The bridge area features Second Empire style buildings with decorative facades, including cafes with wooden storefronts and triangular pediments from the 19th century.
The bridge serves as a major traffic junction in central Antwerp, with visible archaeological remains accessible to pedestrians from a dedicated walkway.
Archaeological excavations beneath the bridge revealed a collection of historical artifacts, including an 83-centimeter sword from the 16th or 17th century.
