Bridges in Muiden

betekenis & definitie

A bridge over the Vecht is already mentioned in 1403. In 1673-'74, this bridge was combined with the sea locks and then reconstructed in 1870 with the quays and the locks to the current iron swing bridge (Herengracht approx.)

with two semi-circular stone balustrades and cast-iron lanterns on natural stone posts. The wrought iron bridge railings are manufactured by forge Melis. Over the moat are iron drawbridges at the Keetpoldersluis (end Herengracht, 1855), at the Amsterdamsestraat (1932, replaced 1968) and at Zuidpolderweg 1 (around 1930).
