Vondelbrug, Fixed bridge in Amsterdam-Zuid, Netherlands

The Vondelbrug extends 22 meters in length and 26 meters in width, connecting Amsterdam Oud-Zuid with Amsterdam Oud-West across Vondelpark.

Construction of the bridge began in 1936 under Piet Kramer's design, but World War II delayed its completion until October 16, 1947.

The bridge features sculptural works by Hildo Krop, including reliefs depicting scenes from Gijsbrecht van Aemstel on its stone surfaces.

This structure serves as the only northwest-southeast connection for motorized traffic between Stadhouderskade and Amstelveenseweg, spanning across Vondelpark.

The bridge's former shelter transformed into Beatkelder Lijn 3 club in 1968, hosting performances by Pink Floyd before becoming Vondelbunker for cultural events.
