Ecluse de Rechicourt, Navigation lock in Réchicourt-le-Château, France.
The Réchicourt-le-Château lock features a substantial fall height between 15 and 16 meters, making it the highest lock in the French waterway network.
Built in 1965 during the expansion of the Marne-Rhine Canal East, this lock replaced several older structures to modernize water transportation infrastructure.
The lock serves as an educational site where visitors observe complex navigation systems while walking along designated pathways with informational displays.
The structure accommodates vessels with a draft of 2.20 meters and operates under the management of Voies Navigables de France for both commercial and recreational navigation.
Near the modern lock structure, remnants of previous locks remain visible, providing physical evidence of canal engineering evolution through different periods.
