Canadabrug, Protected monument bridge in Bruges, Belgium
The Canadabrug spans across a canal in Bruges, featuring bronze bison statues on both sides of its sturdy stone construction.
Built after World War II, the Canadabrug commemorates the Canadian military forces that entered through this route during the liberation of Bruges.
The bridge stands as a memorial with two bronze bison sculptures, representing the emblems of the Canadian regiment that freed the city.
Located on Leopold I-laan, the bridge connects different parts of Bruges and remains accessible through the Brugge Bevrijdingslaan bus stop.
A confusion between buffalo and bison in local history led residents to call this structure the Buffalo Bridge instead of its official name.
