A 13th century medievel Bridge and defensive works in Strasbourg.  We should have made the piers pointy but forgot.  Still - looks pretty good.  This is big - a little over 4 feet wide.  The name means "Covered Bridge" but the covers were taken off in the 18th century after they became pointless.  It bridges the river Ill and is an important historic site.
