Przewięź Lock, Lock and monument in Augustów, Poland
Located between Lake Studzieniczne and Lake Białe Augustowskie, Przewięź Lock extends 46.17 meters in length and 5.96 meters in width with wooden gates.
Lieutenant Colonel Engineer August Szulc supervised the construction of Przewięź Lock between 1826 and 1827 as part of the Augustów Canal system.
The lock represents 19th-century engineering methods through its manual operation system and stands as the sixth lock along the Augustów Canal route.
The lock mechanism creates a level difference of 0.86 meters, enabling vessels to navigate between different water levels of the connected lakes.
The structure maintains its original wooden gates from the initial construction period, making it a testament to historical engineering techniques.
