Śluza Kamienna, Lock complex in Śródmieście, Gdańsk, Poland.
The Stone Lock features four stone towers, defensive walls, and earthworks situated at the intersection of the Motława River and its bypass channel.
Dutch engineers Wilhelm Jansen Benningen and Adrian Olbrantsen designed this lock between 1619 and 1623 as part of Gdańsk's defensive fortification system.
The lock structure incorporates elements of Dutch engineering expertise, reflecting the strong maritime connections between Gdańsk and the Netherlands in the 1600s.
The lock maintains water levels in the moats, regulates river flow in the harbor area, and continues to serve as part of Gdańsk's flood control system.
Two small islands near the lock, called Pig Heads, functioned as early warning stations, while four towers known as the Four Maidens protected passage.
