Staustufe Custines, Hydraulic barrage in Custines, France

The Staustufe Custines stretches 370 meters across the Moselle River, featuring water control mechanisms and a hydroelectric power station with 1.9 megawatt capacity.

Built in 1972, the barrage forms part of extensive water management infrastructure developments that transformed navigation capabilities on the Moselle River after World War II.

The barrage connects local communities through recreational paths and fishing spots, making it a center for outdoor activities in the Grand Est region.

Located at kilometer 343.57 of the Moselle River, this structure maintains a water level of 187.5 meters above sea level through its 4.2-kilometer impoundment length.
