The first bridge on this site dates back to the 15th century. It was renovated in 1642 by the current stone arch bridge with three arches and elegant natural stone facades, designed by the Leiden architect Arent van 's Gravesande. The bridge crosses the Nieuwe Rijn and connects the Burgsteeg with the Koornbrugsteeg. It is called the Koornbrug (also Koornbeursbrug) because the grain market was held there from 1443 onwards. In 1825, it was given a canopy on each side to keep the grain dry. The canopies were designed by Salomon van der Paauw, Leiden's city architect. They consist of two neoclassical wooden galleries with Doric columns. The gables display the city's coat of arms (two red keys) surrounded by ears of corn (referring to the grain that was traded here). The grain was stored under the roof. Holes in the ceiling provided ventilation. The building has been a listed building since 1968. (Source: Wikipedia)

The first mention of a bridge on this site dates back to the 15th century. Since then, the grain market has been held here, and the bridge was named "Koornbrug." In 1642, the old bridge was replaced by the current one, featuring three arches and a beautiful natural stone facade, designed by the Leiden architect Arent van's-Gravesande. Originally, barges loaded with grain lay beneath this bridge to keep the grain dry during inclement weather. In 1825, the two canopies were built. The grain was also stored beneath the canopy. The openings in the roof provided ventilation. It remains the only covered bridge in Leiden to this day. (Source: "Leidener Runde" booklet from Leiden City Marketing)

The windmill "De Put" owes its name to its owner, Jan Janszoon Put. His mill originally stood at a different location in the city. After the city expanded to the west, he relocated his mill here on the Galgewater in 1619, hoping for greater yield from the west wind. The post-and-beam flour mill we see today is a replica from 1987. On the other side of the Weddesteeg rampart stood the flour mill of Rembrandt van Rijn's parents. The two mills were connected by a long drawbridge. The mills ran day and night when there was enough wind to grind malt for the city's many breweries. In the mid-17th century, 19 "post-and-beam" flour mills stood on the ramparts surrounding the fortified city. These flour mills ground flour for the residents of Leiden. Note: Rembrandt van Rijn painted and drew many mills throughout his life. As a miller's son, the mills surely fascinated and shaped him even as a toddler.

The original town hall dates back to the Middle Ages. The town hall as we know it today, with its Renaissance façade on Breestraat, was designed around 1600 according to plans by Lüdiger von Bentheim, who also built the façade of Bremen's town hall at the same time. After the fire of February 12, 1929, the town hall had to be rebuilt on the Fish Market side (according to plans by C.J. Blaauw) and was simultaneously expanded to include the Stadhuisplein in 1932. Until the fire, the Rhenish Rod (L unit of measurement) was determined by the distance between two notches at the entrance to the town hall (Fish Market). After reconstruction, they were replaced by two iron knobs. The last renovation took place in 2020/22. The rooms below the town hall on the square are now used by a restaurant and an entertainment center. (Source: Wikipedia) Around 1600, the town hall resembled more of a museum, as the walls were hung with many paintings by (old) masters. (Source: "Leidener Runde" by City Marketing L.) CITY COAT OF ARMS: The coat of arms of the city of Leiden depicts two red lions (symbolizing the County of Holland) and two crossed red keys (symbolizing St. Peter, the city's patron saint), above which is a crown (recalling the city's connection to the reign of King William V. The crown was awarded to the city as an honor, symbolizing its rank and highlighting Leiden as an important city and trading center). The motto in the coat of arms is: "Haec Libertatis Ergo" = "In the name of freedom." This motto, which is also the city's motto, is important to the people of Leiden and commemorates the city's liberation from the Spanish siege on October 3, 1574. This significant blow against the Spanish contributed significantly to the independence of the Northern Netherlands (Republic of the Seven United Netherlands from 1581 to 1795). The Republic was a loose federation of seven largely independent provinces (Holland, Zeeland, Groningen, Utrecht, Friesland, Guelders, and Overijssel).

The last of the numerous windmills that once adorned Leiden's city walls. Their exposure on the city walls increased wind yield, and the windmills certainly also served as watchtowers.

Strangely enough I had never been to the old city centre of Leiden. I was really surprised during an evening walk on the beautiful canals like this one. I will definitely come back in the summer to take a walk during the day and sit on a terrace and enjoy the afterglow.
