Kamienna Śluza

The Stone Sluice is a fascinating monument of water engineering in Gdansk. This historic structure played a key role in defending the city, protecting it from floods and regulating the water level in the Motlawa River and Radunia Canal.

Built on wooden piles and frame, clad in massive stone, it has distinctive cylindrical turrets called 'maidens'. The sluice could accommodate ships of considerable size, and the distance between the gates was about 20 meters.

It is not only a valuable monument, but also a testimony to the engineering genius of the past, which is sure to delight lovers of history and architecture.
