Wilhelminasluis

Very old lock in the Netherlands 1900

Tip

An old and special lock complex. This lock has a very special construction of doors that make it possible to work with a varying height difference and even open the door against the water pressure. A so-called fan lock There is also a B&B at the lock

Forty years ago, I came in as a lock keeper for three months in the summer. Very nice memories of that time 🙂

The lock itself is fine, but after they renovated it a few years ago, they forgot to open and close the doors more quickly. This takes a very long time.
