Information panel | Post Bridge | Herengracht
The early 20th century saw the first construction outside Purmerend's town walls. The imposing mansions on Herengracht and Emmakade still stand today.
A brand new post office was also built. The bridge connecting this neighbourhood to the city centre was therefore called the Post Bridge. The post office has not been used for years, but the bridge's name has stuck.
