The very first bridge was a wooden bridge from 1393, which was replaced by a stone bridge in 1420. In 1775 a swing bridge was built, which was destroyed in 1940 when the bridge was blown up.
Next to the bridge is the Sint-Janstoren of the same name, which was designated as the mandatory residence of the city surgeon or plague doctor in the 17th century. The tower was later converted into an inn.
