Detail of the copy of the French Maquette of Maastricht on display in Centre Céramique, Maastricht, the Netherlands. The copy was made in 1974-1982, based on the mid-18th-century scale model made for King Louis XV of France. This section shows the eastern city wall in Wyck around the Duitse or Akerpoort (German or Aachen Gate). The bridge spanned the moat which was fed by the river Meuse and became much wider in winter.
