Groote Zeesluis, Lock and bridge complex in Muiden, Netherlands.
The Groote Zeesluis consists of three chambers with the main lock measuring 49 meters in length and 7.6 meters in width.
Built in 1672, the lock protected the region from floods from the former Zuiderzee and served in the Old Dutch Water Line defense system.
The lock system represents Dutch engineering excellence in water management, connecting the Utrecht Vecht river with the IJmeer waters.
The lock operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and Saturdays, with entrance depths of 3.1 meters below and 2.7 meters above.
The structure maintains its original wooden components from 1674, serving three functions: shipping navigation, inland protection, and military purposes.
