You can still marvel at three generations of locks in Trollhättan today. The first locks were built into the rock between 1793 and 1800. At that time they were considered the 8th wonder of the world. As early as 1832, however, these locks were too small, as the Göta Canal, which had now opened, was designed for ships up to 7 m wide and 30 m long. This is why the “middle” locks were built by 1844, exactly the same type and size as those of the Göta Canal. They consist of 2 lower, 4 middle and 3 upper lock chambers. Both lock stairs can still be seen, but the driveways are partially walled up and can no longer be passed. Wikipedia
