Opatowicki weir, Hydraulic structure on Oder River in Wrocław, Poland

The Opatowicki weir stretches across 96 meters with three spans of 32 meters each, regulating water levels at kilometer 245 of the Oder River.

The original weir, constructed in 1896 as part of the Bartoszowice Canal, was replaced by a new structure in 1916 with movable equipment and further modernized in 1985.

The weir creates a connection point between Bartoszowice district and Love Island through a bridge that supports pedestrian and bicycle traffic across the river.

Recent modifications in 2012 transformed the structure from a sector weir to a flap weir, incorporating a fish passage and updated control systems.

During low water conditions, remnants of the 1916 partially submerged weir structure remain visible beneath the current installation.
