Augustijnenbrug, Arch bridge in central Bruges, Belgium
The Augustijnenbrug spans the Augustijnenrei canal with three arches made of Tournai limestone and slate keystones connecting both sides of the waterway.
Master mason Jan van Oudenaerde completed the construction of this medieval bridge in 1391, creating a vital connection for the Augustinian monastery.
Stone benches along the parapets provide visitors with observation points to experience the water routes that define the character of Bruges.
The bridge links Spanjaardstraat to Hoedenmakersstraat and remains accessible through the Brugge Gouden Handstraat bus stop in the city center.
Two staircases added in 1396 descend to water level, offering direct canal access and demonstrating medieval urban planning considerations.
