This drawbridge was and still is strategically important. Anyone who passed here had to pay a toll. For this reason, the Count of Flanders had a small fortress built there, which, however, was already destroyed in the Middle Ages. From the 16th century onwards, the residents of Deinzen took control of the drawbridge.
