Hoge Brug

The Hoge Brug was designed by Eloi Koreman. Installed when the Haven reopened in 2007, the bridge consists of two sections that just barely touch at the highest point.

The Hoge Brug was designed by Eloi Koreman, son of Hein Koreman whose various sculptures can also be seen in Breda. The bridge was placed at the reopening of the Haven in 2007 and consists of two parts that just barely touch at the highest point. With the few centimeters you literally bridge the gap, Koreman wants you to feel that you are really crossing the water.

Just like in cities like Paris and Rome, couples in love hang a lock on the High Bridge and throw the key into the harbor. In Breda, the Hoge Brug is therefore known as the 'Lock Bridge'.
