After the digging of the Nieuwe Vecht, a new lock was built here in 1602. The oval shape of the lock chamber dates from 1877. The lock has been recognized as a national monument since 1998, partly because of the rare oval shape of the lock chamber.

The lock keeper's house "Het Nieuwe Verlaat" is located near the lock complex. In the 18th century this was a skipper's café.
