    A few meters to the left of the house is the old lock basin.

    In Louisenburg (the settlement was named after Napolion's wife "Marie-Louise") you can find out what Naolelon Bonarparte had planned at the Louisenburg lock.
    Because the canal planned by Napoleon was never completed. Construction work stopped in 1811.

    The canal was supposed to be built because Napoleon wanted to bypass the Dutch ports because they continued to trade with the English. A canal was planned from Neuss via Venlo to Antwerp, thereby bypassing Rotterdam and other ports.
    Construction began in 1809 and around 1/3 was completed. Then Napoleon took the sea ports and the canal was no longer necessary. In 1811 the work was stopped.
