This is the Weesbrug over the Oudegracht canal in Utrecht. The Weesbrug is an arched bridge with two canopies and leads to the former orphanage, which much later housed pop venue Tivoli. The Weesbrug is a walking and cycling bridge. Cars's cannot cross it. The abutments on either side contain bridge cellars.
The Smeebrug can be seen in the background and even further in the distance part of the Geertebrug.
The Orphan Bridge is a national monument.
