The Friedrichstaler Canal is an almost two-kilometer-long artificial waterway in the Lippe town of Detmold in North Rhine-Westphalia, which was created from 1701 to 1704 on the instructions of Count Friedrich Adolf of Lippe. He connected the Residenzschloss with the baroque Friedrichstal country estate south of Detmold, which no longer exists today. The canal was built exclusively for pleasure trips by courtly companies with gondolas. As early as 1748, shipping was stopped again for cost reasons. The water gradient at two of the three locks on the canal was now used to operate mills. The canal system is considered an important monument of baroque hydraulic engineering.
