Zeebrugge Haven High Lighthouse

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

The Heist Low Lighthouse is a Belgian lighthouse whose light has gone out. After the collapse of the Zwin, the city of Bruges looked for another way out of the sea and found it at the beginning of the 20th century with the Zeebrugge seaport. The shipping channel to this port was called Pas van 't Zand and was deepened. To mark this waterway, two engineering companies had two lighthouses built. One of these two lighthouses was the Heist lighthouse, built between 1905 and 1907. Together with the Heist High Lighthouse, it formed a light line for ships that wanted to enter the port of Zeebrugge. The light line was visible to ships that had a good course of 136 degrees, so the light rays of the low guide light and the high guide light were in one line. Due to the expansion of the port of Zeebrugge, the lighthouse lost its function and the light was extinguished. The lighthouse is located at the end of the Zeedijk van Heist (admittedly on the territory of Bruges - Zeebrugge) next to an active (higher) light riot and in the shadow of the Seawall development. Today it stands next to the Zeebrugge Haven Hoog light uprising, which forms a new line of light together with the Lichopstand Zeebrugge Haven Laag.

Visartbrug (drawbridge) in Zeebrugge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The historic Visartbrug is a striking bascule bridge in Zeebrugge and inextricably linked to the origin of the port. The bridge spans the seaward side of the Visart lock, the very first sea lock in the port, thus forming the connection between the North Sea and the hinterland.

The bridge and lock owe their name to Amedée Visart de Bocarmé, the then mayor of Bruges. Together with baron August de Maere, he was one of the great pioneers of the idea to give Bruges a full-fledged seaport.

The first lock already allowed ships through around 1904. The current steel bascule bridge dates from the early 1950s and was built after the destruction of the Second World War.

What makes this place extra special? The iconic Coastal Tram and road traffic on the N34 simply drive over the bascule bridge. When a ship needs to pass the lock, the bridge opens, and traffic along the coast comes to a standstill. Especially in the summer, this caused the notorious 'tram jams' for years. A piece of port history that literally passes under your feet here!
