Waaiersluis, Gouda, Lock complex in Gouda, Netherlands
The Waaiersluis consists of a lock chamber with masonry walls measuring 42 meters long, featuring stone corner blocks and concrete cover plates.
Built between 1856 and 1860, the Waaiersluis was constructed as part of a project to deepen and canalize the Hollandsche IJssel river above Gouda.
The structure represents a milestone in Dutch water management engineering, featuring a rare type of manually operated rotating bridge over the lock.
The lock processes approximately 8,000 recreational vessels annually, with a chamber length of 26 meters and a width of 6 meters.
The complex incorporates fan doors in its intermediate head, enabling vessel passage during both high and low tide conditions.
