Dierense sluis, Lock in Dieren, Netherlands

The Dierense Sluis manages water levels and facilitates vessel passage through the Apeldoorns Canal, connecting it to the IJssel River at Dieren.

The lock's construction began in 1858 as part of the Apeldoorns Canal project, which opened in 1868 to support regional maritime transportation.

The lock represents Dutch water management expertise, demonstrating the nation's long relationship with controlling and utilizing waterways for transportation.

Visitors can access the lock structure via designated pathways, with parking facilities available nearby for those interested in observing maritime operations.

This lock underwent a significant transformation in 1957 to accommodate vessels up to 600 tons, replacing its original three-step design with a new configuration.
