Les Království Dam, Technical monument in Dvůr Králové nad Labem, Czech Republic.
The Les Království Dam features stone towers with red roofs, gates marked by two decorative turrets, and a construction style from the early 20th century.
The construction of the dam, initiated in 1910 and completed in 1919, was a response to the severe flooding that affected the area in July 1897.
The Ministry of Culture designated Les Království Dam as a national cultural monument in 2010, recognizing its architectural and engineering achievements.
The dam maintains water levels on the Elbe River while housing a hydroelectric power plant that has operated since 1923 on the right bank.
The structure incorporates elements of pseudo-gothic architecture into its design, making it different from standard industrial constructions of its period.
