Thw Sint Servaasbrug is a 13e centery stone archebridge over the river 'de Maas' in Maastricht.
The bridge was built between 1280 and 1298 on behalf of the chapter of Saint Servaas to replace the first Roman bridge which collapsed in 1275. Originally there were nine blocks arcs, and a wooden span to the Wyckse side, which in the case of a siege could be quickly dismantled.
