Sluis Leidschendam, Navigation lock in Leidschendam, Netherlands.

The lock structure spans 75 meters in length with a northern chamber width of 7 meters and accommodates vessels up to 60 meters long.

From 1281 until 1648, this location contained a dam that marked the water boundary between the regions of Rijnland and Delfland.

The neo-Renaissance lock keeper's office, constructed between 1886 and 1888, features red brick walls, slate roofs, and ornamental stone details.

The lock operates through marine radio channel 18, managed by the Province of South Holland from the Central Operations Center in Leidschendam.

Each year approximately 12,000 ships navigate through this lock, which connects different water levels between the Rhine and Schie waterways.
