5. The Moses Bridge
Place of origin: The Netherlands 2010 saw its establishment (1628 for Fort de Roovere). Price: *$330,325* The location of the Moses Bridge dates back to 1628, but it was originally known as Fort de Roovere.

Moses Bridge
The Moses Bridge is a unique architectural marvel, notable for its design that partially submerges in water. Completed in 2010 by the innovative firm RO&AD Architecten, this striking bridge elegantly traverses a moat, effectively dividing it into two sections. The design not only serves a functional purpose but also creates a visually stunning effect, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
However, the construction of the Moses Bridge was not without controversy. Many demonstrators voiced their opposition to the clearing of Fort de Roovere, expressing concerns that the architectural research conducted prior to the project was insufficient. They argued that this oversight could undermine the historical significance of the numerous conflicts that took place in the region.
