Śluza Okole, Navigation lock in Bydgoszcz, Poland.
The Okole Lock stands on the Vistula-Odra waterway, enabling vessels to navigate a vertical distance of 7.58 meters through concrete structures with brick cladding.
Constructed between 1908 and 1915, this lock replaced five older structures on the Old Bydgoszcz Canal, marking a substantial upgrade to regional water transport infrastructure.
The lock gained recognition when it served as a filming location for scenes in the Polish television series 'Four Tank-Men and a Dog'.
The lock operates with electrically powered steel flap gates and support gates, while maintaining backup manual operation systems for emergency situations.
The structure features specialized water conservation tanks that reduce water consumption by recycling it multiple times during the locking process.
