Walking from Brouwersgracht to Lekkeresluis brug Amsterdam

Lekkeresluis bridge in Amsterdam (known as bridge 59 as well, the number is cut out in the upper stone of the central vault) is the spot where the Prinsengracht canal flows into the Brouwersgracht canal. There has been a bridge here for centuries, it can already be found on the 1649 map. The current bridge dates from 1754, there are two stones on the north side of the bridge with "Anno" and "1754". Prinsengracht (Prince's Canal) is the fourth and the longest of the main canals in Amsterdam. It is named after the Prince of Orange. Most of the canal houses along it were built during the Dutch Golden Age of the United Provinces. Brouwersgracht marks the northern border of the canal belt. The canal served as a site for ships returning from Asia with spices and silks, therefore Brouwersgracht had many warehouses and storage depots for the ships inventories. Those warehouses are apartments now, some are the most expensive in Amsterdam. The bridge's name 'Lekkeresluis' refers to bakers that used to sell their food on the bridge a long time ago.
