Augustów Lock, Historic lock on Augustów Canal, Poland.
The Augustów Lock features metal gates with crank mechanisms, measuring 46.8 meters in length and 6.02 meters in width with a level difference of 2.44 meters.
Engineer Konstanty Jodko constructed the lock between 1825 and 1826, but German forces destroyed it in 1944, leading to reconstruction efforts from 1947 to 1948.
The lock stands as a testament to 19th-century Polish engineering, representing an important component of the waterway system connecting the Vistula and Neman rivers.
The lock operates through manual mechanisms, requiring physical effort from operators to move the gates for boats passing through the waterway system.
Located 32.5 kilometers from Biebrza River and 68.7 kilometers from Niemen River, this lock maintains its original manual operating system from the 1940s reconstruction.
