Durbuy Bridge - 1725

In the 14th century, Durbuy had its small wooden bridge. This was replaced by a stone bridge in 1725, donated by Sisters Recollectinen. Next door, on the left bank, stood a mill.
The bridge and the mill disappear in 1909. A new, wider bridge is built, but it is destroyed in 1940 by the Belgian army.
The current bridge dates from 1954. Three construction dates are engraved on the bronze cross in the middle of the bridge.

On the side of the bridge, you'll find a four-language (FR/NL/DE/UK) information board with the information about the bridge Herwig mentions. It could use replacing.Other interesting facts about the bridge with visible remains: the metal cross, surmounted by a cast and painted iron statue of Christ on the railing, dates from the eighteenth century. As mentioned, the limestone base inscribes the construction years of the various successive bridges: 1725, 1909, and 1954.The base of the cross itself has also been replaced. The previous one, also part of the city's small heritage, stands on the side of the church next to the old graves. This stone stood there between 1909 and 1940 and was blown up during the war. It was replaced in 1954, just like the bridge.If you go down the stairs towards the parking lot on the other side of the bridge (the side with the information board), you will see another reminder, remains and information about the mill.

If you stand on the bridge you can watch people fight with the Cano they hired...
