Incredible Architecture The Moses Bridge
Contact us to Add Your Business
The Moses Bridge ('Mozezbrug') is at Fort de Roovere near Halsteren, the Netherlands. The designers, RO&AD Architecten, decided that it would be inappropriate to build a bridge over the historic moat. Instead they constructed a practically invisible, mostly submerged bridge. The bridge is called "The Moses Bridge" due to it seeming to divide the waters of the moat

Today we're in West Brabant, it's about two hours outside of Amsterdam and we've come to visit an unusual architectural marvel called the Moses bridge. That's one thing to know, this Moses Bridge is in the middle of nowhere it also means there's hardly any tourists which is great.
The Moses Bridge was built in 2010. It's not well known so people don't know that it's here. We will tell them now of course. It will be the next tourist discovery. We had to Google search this one. It's a little bit of a hidden gem. Very much so. Is it a hidden gem?
It's a bridge that they've built which is kind of submerged so it looks like you have parted the waters which is really amazing. Hence the name Moses Bridge. So right now, I'm below the water level and as you go up you can see the water is at this level. So it's kind of just above waist height.
-How did you find this place actually?
-I think it's very mesmerising to be honest.
-No, not how do you find it, how did you find it?
Don't you love though, that on a clear day it's like a mirror image.
That was cool right? -Unbelievable!
We'll be coming back again right? No we won't be coming back again. It's really amazing. It's so nice. Unfortunately it's not easy to get to so I don't think we'll be coming back again. But if you get the chance to come out here, then it's well worth doing. Right? Ja, and maybe we'll discover something else next.
Wow, this is so cool! How far is this from Amsterdam? And, what happens when the water is rough, or the water level rises? Does it flood, or do they pump out the water from the bridge walkway? Just curious… Thanks for filming this, what a fun find!
The water it crosses is a moat surrounding a fort. There are pictures of it flooded when the water is a little high.
Hi Lee. It’s about a two hour drive south of Amsterdam. The water was not flowing, so I don’t think it gets rough. I believe it can/does flood if there is a lot of rain, but not sure. This was indeed a fun/unusual find.
So f*ing high ๐ฑ
I think it would be cool if the wall is transparent

Wohow! What a cool place ๐ Had no idea about this one!
+Travel Gretl It’s an amazing place. When it was built there wasn’t much greenery around, now it looks amazing with all the plants and nature settling in.

So the water does not flow through
It’s a moat surrounding a fort, not a river.
