The sources record no construction date for the weir. It stands at river kilometre 50.9 on the Odra, north-northwest of Bartošovice in the Moravian Gate valley, and is made of reinforced concrete, 3.5 m high and 21 m long. A millrace for the nearby Bartošovice mill was built as part of the weir on the right bank.
The weir feeds a millrace on the right bank that once supplied the nearby Bartošovice mill; the race now holds a small hydroelectric plant with a single turbine producing 0.423 GWh a year. Canoeists who run the Odra here must portage around the structure, carrying their boats on either bank.
