Amstelsluizen, Waterway lock system on Amstel River, Netherlands.
The Amstelsluizen features three lift-locks with a central passage measuring 47 meters in length, flanked by two narrower passages of 8.5 meters width.
Mayor and mathematician Johannes Hudde initiated and designed the locks in 1673 to regulate water levels and prevent salt water intrusion from the IJ.
The locks stand near the Royal Theater Carré, built in 1887, forming an ensemble of notable structures along the Amstel River in Amsterdam.
Three lock keepers manage the system using hydraulic mechanisms, ensuring smooth water traffic between the Prinsengracht and Singelgracht sections of Amsterdam.
Small brick buildings that formerly served as tax collection points for city duties now include a converted accommodation space since 2021.
