Écluse Notre-Dame-de-la-Garenne, Lock system on the Seine River in Saint-Pierre-la-Garenne, France.
The Notre-Dame-de-la-Garenne lock complex incorporates four chambers, a hydroelectric power plant, and a dam spanning 201 meters across the Seine River.
Engineer Émile Nouguier directed the construction of the lock between 1879 and 1889, implementing metal beams and concrete in its structural design.
The lock represents a significant element of French industrial heritage, with artist Adrien-Jacques Sauzay capturing its image in his painting.
Operating 24 hours daily, the lock system processes approximately 24 vessels per day, requiring seven lock keepers and eleven maintenance workers.
In 2008, engineers installed a fish ladder between the locks and dam to facilitate the migration of salmon and eels through the waterway.
