Kurzyniec Lock, Historical lock in Rudawka, Poland.

The Kurzyniec Lock measures 44.6 meters in length and 6 meters in width, featuring wooden gates and a water level difference of 2.98 meters.

Engineers Konstantin Jodko and F. Wielhorski completed the construction of this lock in 1829 as part of the Augustów Canal navigation system.

The lock stands as an immovable monument on the Polish-Belarusian border, marking the intersection of two nations through its shared waterway infrastructure.

During summer months, the lock functions as a border crossing point allowing water vessels to pass between Poland and Belarus along the Augustów Canal.

The lock derives its name from a former village that existed on both sides of the canal, spanning what later became an international border.

Location: Rudawka, powiat augustowski
