Nieuwe Amstelbrug, Moveable bridge in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Nieuwe Amstelbrug connects Amsterdam-Zuid and Amsterdam-Oost districts across the Amstel River with its brick architectural design and mechanical structure.
Architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage collaborated with engineer Hendrik Leguyt in 1903 to create this bridge, which later received a dedicated bridge house in 1912.
The bridge exemplifies the Early Amsterdam School architectural movement through its detailed brickwork and structural elements that influenced Dutch design.
The bascule mechanism allows maritime traffic to pass through the waterway while maintaining a connection for vehicles and pedestrians across the Amstel.
The former bridge keeper's house transformed into a hotel suite in 2017, offering guests an opportunity to stay in this historical structure.
