In 1925
The present Kattenbrug is built.
It replaced the wooden double-leaf drawbridge of 1823–1825. At this point Roovers gives 1824 as the year that wooden bridge was built, and 1823–1825 elsewhere.
Provenance This comes from the series J.J. Roovers set down up to 1970. The wording here is this site’s own. View the source
