Rotterdam - Regentessebrug
Stadsdriehoek | Wijnhaven/Posthoornstraat
This bridge is the only tangible evidence of Wijnhaven's pre-war grandeur. Inspired by 19th-century bridges in Paris, it is named after Queen Emma, who was then Queen Regent. It has a cast-iron structure and a concrete deck. The three arches and the balustrades are of stone, with four sculpted lions standing guard at the corners. Decorated brass lamps and carved fish provide further embellishment.
Arch. Dirk Burghard(t) Logemann
1897-99.
