Rembrandt Bridge Leiden • 20241210


The Rembrandt Bridge is a double wooden drawbridge over the Rijn (Rhine) river on the edge of the historic centre of the Dutch city of Leiden. The bridge — a replica of the original build in 1650 — is named after the painter Rembrandt van Rijn. The post mill De Put (The Pit), is a replica of the windmill that stood here in Rembrandt’s time , opposite the similar malt mill of Rembrandt’s family – on the other side of the Rijn river where Rembrandt was born and raised.
