Prinses Beatrixsluis, Navigation lock complex in Nieuwegein, Netherlands
The Prinses Beatrixsluis consists of three locks connecting the Lek River with the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal through the Lekkanaal waterway.
The original twin locks were constructed in 1938 and named after Princess Beatrix, marking the first Dutch structure to bear her name.
The white houses adjacent to the locks, initially built for lock masters and technical staff, now serve as the central control room.
The complex processes approximately 50,000 vessels annually, with the newest lock measuring 276 meters in length and 25 meters in width.
The lock system features preserved historical lift mechanisms displayed at picnic areas, showcasing the original engineering from 1938.
