A vestige of medieval, military architecture on the river Scheldt (Escaut), which originally consisted of three equally-sized arches. After being intentionally blown up during a tactical retreat by the British at the beginning of the Second World War, it was reconstructed afterwards with a moderately widened middle arch to aid the passage of river traffic. In the late 2010s this has provided the pretext for a highly controversial second demolition and reconstruction (still ongoing as of 2021) in which the central arch is again being expanded, this time much more drastically.
