The Sint-Brigidabron is a well in the hamlet of Wesch in Noorbeek in the Dutch municipality of Eijsden-Margraten in South Limburg. This is where the stream the Noor originates, which drains further via the Voer region to the Voer and the Maas. The Sint-Brigidabron owes its name to the patron saint of the village of Noorbeek Sint-Brigida. The village is then named after the stream.
The Sint-Brigidabron rises at the bottom of the slope of the ridge where Bergenhuizen is also located. In 1858 a stone house was built around the source in which the water comes out of the ground. Then the water flows through the washing place from the eighteenth century located here. This consists of a masonry quay, a staircase to get to the water, two spherical ornaments flanking the staircase and a pillar of brick with a natural stone crown.
The washing place is a national monument. A stone wall has been built on the other side of the washroom. After crossing the Noorbeek-Mheer road, the stream can freely continue its way through the Noordal. In 2008, at the spot where the stream flows under the road, a work of art by the Norwegian art blacksmith Math Wanders was placed, depicting Saint Brigida with cattle.
