    Tips

    The white drawbridge in Schoonhoven, built in 1990, spans the historic lock at the Voorhaven. The bridge is intended for pedestrians and is designed in a traditional style, fitting with the historic cityscape. It forms a recognizable and photogenic entry point to the city center.

      Picturesque wooden bridge situated over the old lock gate.

        The Schoonhoven harbor ends in the Voorhaven, which is also where the Scheepmakershaven ends. The wider southwestern part of the harbor is closed by a masonry lock from 1860 (originally 1762) with flood doors and bulkhead rebates. The ebb doors were installed in 1957. Over the lock is a double wooden drawbridge for pedestrians (1990). The harbor is bridged in three places. Two of these are square-shaped dam overpasses, namely the Dam (1349) near the weigh house - with an arched edge of Gobertangesteen - and the Stone bridge.
