Kanał Raduni, Medieval canal in Gdańsk, Poland
The Radunia Canal extends for 13.5 kilometers through northern Poland, connecting multiple waterways and featuring a complex system of locks and water control mechanisms.
The Teutonic Knights constructed this canal in 1338 to supply water and power to the mills of Gdańsk, transforming the city into an industrial center.
The canal system supported numerous water mills that processed grain from the surrounding agricultural regions, establishing Gdańsk as a major flour production center.
Eight hydroelectric power stations built between 1910 and 1937 along the canal continue to generate electricity with a combined output of 14 megawatts.
The canal maintains a height difference of 162 meters from its source to its confluence with the Motława River, creating natural energy potential.
