Rembrandt bridge, Wooden drawbridge in Leiden, Netherlands
The Rembrandt Bridge spans across the Galgewater, connecting different sections of Leiden with its traditional wooden construction and mechanical draw mechanism.
Built in 1983, this bridge replicates a 17th-century structure that stood near the birthplace of painter Rembrandt van Rijn until its demolition in 1817.
The bridge stands meters from where Rembrandt van Rijn was born, marking an important location in the artistic heritage of the Netherlands.
The structure serves as a pedestrian crossing point between the city center and residential areas, with the Molen de Put windmill visible from its deck.
The bridge combines modern engineering with traditional Dutch woodworking techniques, maintaining the historical appearance of medieval Leiden.
