Tips
The Leidschendam Lock is a lock with pointed gates in the Rhine-Schie Canal.
The current lock was built between 1886 and 1888 and is an extension of the Damlaan, until recently the main traffic artery of the village. The drawbridges over the monumental lock are very narrow and until the completion of the Sijtwendetunnel in 2003, car traffic was often hindered by waiting times for the bridges at the lock. The drawbridges were built in 1889. The entire lock complex with both bridges has been on the National Monuments List since 1998.translated by
