Sint-Michielsbrug

The Sint-Michielsbrug is a stone arch bridge in the center of the Belgian city of Ghent. The bridge is located over the Leie, on the south side of the Graslei and Korenlei. The current monumental bridge was built in the period 1905-1909, after the construction of the post office. Both the Sint-Michielsbrug and the Oud Postgebouw are creations of architect Louis Cloquet.

Previously there was a flat swing bridge. The bridge is part of the street Sint-Michielshelling. From the bridge you have a northerly view of the Graslei and Korenlei, and the Gravensteen in the distance. In an easterly direction, the bridge offers a typical view of the three Ghent towers: the Sint-Niklaaskerk, the Belfry of Ghent and the Sint-Baafskathedraal. On the southwest side is the Saint Michael's Church. The bridge was protected as a monument in 1983.
