Oranjesluis, 's-Gravenzande, Historical lock in 's-Gravenzande, Netherlands.

The Oranjesluis lock includes a keeper's house called Jachthuis positioned on top of the structure along the Maasdijk connecting water channels.

The Delfland Water Board constructed this lock in 1676 under William III of Orange to provide freshwater for the gardens of Honselaarsdijk estate.

The lock represents traditional Dutch water management engineering with its design focused on navigation and water level control in South Holland.

Following improvements in 2006, the lock system increased its water discharge capacity from 3,000 to 17,000 liters per second through the Westland station.

The structure maintains its original function as a water outlet since 1888, contributing to the regional drainage system of the Westland municipality.
