The Heksenbrug is one of Amersfoort’s most picturesque and historic bridges, spanning a quiet canal in the heart of the old city. Its name, which translates to “Witches’ Bridge,” hints at the many stories and legends woven into the city’s past. The bridge is a modest stone arch, but its charm lies in its setting—surrounded by centuries-old buildings, cobbled paths, and reflections dancing on the water.
Behind the bridge stands a striking white house dating back to the 1600s. With its simple lines and weathered facade, it adds a timeless character to the scene, evoking a sense of stillness and continuity through the ages. Light and shadow play softly across the water, enhancing the depth and atmosphere of the view.
This watercolor captures the quiet elegance of the Heksenbrug and its surroundings. Through subtle contrasts and gentle colors, it reflects the layered history of Amersfoort, where every stone and ripple seems to whisper a story from long ago.
