Built by the French, next to the older German ruins of a pier

Mar 2018 • Friends

This decrepit pier was built by the French during the colonial era. It is just beside the nearly fully destroyed, older German version. No need to go out of your way to see it, but most likely you would drive by this structure.

100 years old remainings

Dec 2018 • Solo

The bridge was built in the German colonial Era. There was even a wooden bridge that was initially built in 1900. Later on Germans decided to build a metal one, because a lot of people became food for fish, while being transported by rowing boats from the big ships during strong tides. The metal bridge was finished in 1904 and had a length of 300 meter! 7 years later it was destroyed by a storm but French colonists renovated it in 1928. The bridge was in use up to 60-ies. Right now it is occupied by homeless people and it is not safe to walk on top of it.

Interesting history

Jan 2018 • Business

I did not realise that the French and German's had tried to build a bridge to the Benin. It is now home to some homeless people. The beach did not look very clean. Makes a wonderful photograph at sunset.

Nothing to see

Nothing to see, it is abandoned ruinous of an old bridged,
it is not worth a special visit, but you will most probably pass by it during your stay

Historic place, industrial ruin, not much to see

Apr 2018 • Business

This is really a ruin. You will inevitably see it while crossing Lomé. Not worth a special visit, except if you are fanatic of late 19th century industrial ruins.

Stylish Ruin

Jan 2018 • Solo

It is clear to see from the remains that this was once a very stylish pier stretching well out into the sea. It must have been a good site. This is best viewed from a distance as the pier and the golden sand and palm trees provide a lovely context for the pier.
