Barrage Vauban

The Barrage Vauban is a covered bridge and weir across the Ill in Strasbourg, built in pink Vosges sandstone from 1686 to 1690 to plans by Vauban so the river could be raised to flood the land south of the city. Its 120 m gallery displays casts of sculptures from the cathedral, and its roof terrace looks over the Ponts Couverts and Petite France.
