Just when I was losing faith in the possibility that the bible stories I read in my childhood were myths, something comes along and reinvigorates my faith. The Moses bridge was build in the early 1700’s to protect the Netherlands from invasion by France and Spain. (Spain I understand, but does France even have a military? Were they afraid of being attacked by croissants and chain-smokers?)
Fort de Roovere was surrounded by a moat that served to keep enemies out. Now that the Netherlands have come to their senses, the bridge is used to attract tourists and prove that Moses probably just knew a really good carpenter. It might be a good place to check off your list of things you have seen in your travels.
