Nils Ericsons sluss, Navigation lock in Stockholm, Sweden
The Nils Ericsons lock system connects Lake Mälaren with the Baltic Sea, featuring stone construction and advanced water management mechanisms at its core.
Completed in 1850 under the supervision of engineer Nils Ericson, this lock replaced the previous Polhem lock to accommodate larger vessels and increased maritime traffic.
The lock system represents a significant period of Swedish engineering advancement, named after its designer who received the Order of Vasa for this achievement.
The lock structure measures 45 meters in length, 9.5 meters in width, and 3.6 meters in depth, allowing passage for vessels between different water levels.
The boundary line between the historical regions of Uppland and Södermanland runs directly through the center of the Nils Ericsons lock.
