Nußdorf weir and lock, Art Nouveau lock and weir in Nussdorf, Austria.

The Nussdorf weir and lock consist of a 49-meter-long hydraulic engineering structure where the Donaukanal separates from the Danube River.

The construction of the Nussdorf weir and lock began in August 1894 following a legislative change that also enabled the development of Vienna's Stadtbahn.

Architect Otto Wagner incorporated Art Nouveau elements in the design, including bronze lions on top of columns that later influenced the Gräf & Stift logo.

The chamber lock measures 85 meters in length and 15 meters in width, facilitating boat navigation between different sections of the waterway.

The structure features an observation platform integrated into the administration building, allowing visitors to watch water management operations.
