Sint Servaasbrug, Medieval stone footbridge in Binnenstad, Netherlands
The Sint Servaasbrug spans 160 meters across the Meuse River with seven stone arches and a steel drawbridge section at its eastern end.
The bridge construction started in 1280 after a previous wooden structure collapsed in 1275, causing the death of 400 people during a procession.
The bridge bears the name of Saint Servatius, the first bishop of Maastricht, reflecting the strong connection between the city and its religious heritage.
The steel drawbridge section operates through remote control, allowing large vessels to pass through the Meuse River while serving pedestrians and cyclists.
The Sint Servaasbrug holds the title of the oldest bridge in the Netherlands, featuring original stones from the 13th century integrated into its concrete structure.
