    The Amerongen Dam and Lock complex is a hydraulic engineering work of art in the Netherlands. It consists of a weir and a lock. Later a fish ladder was also added. It was built in the Lower Rhine near Amerongen according to the CEMT class Va. A hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 10 MW was built at this dam complex in 1988.

      Apparently identical in construction to the lock complex in Driel west of Arnhem.

        The Amerongen lock is a beautiful facility with a length of 260m per lock chamber. There are several places to watch the locks and places to have a picnic at the lower lock gate. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleusen-_und_Stauwehranlage_Amerongen
