The lock is very characteristic for this area. It is probably the only one of its kind in our country. That is why Mr. G. van der Meulen of Staatsbosbeheer in the early 1980s to bring the dilapidated lock back to life.

In order to be able to transport the peat by ship outside the polders, simple wooden locks were built in the polder dikes at several places.

Every peat boss had his own lock. Several dozen of these locks were once built in Westellingwerf in the low moor areas, both along the Linde and the Tjonger or Kuinder. These were locks that often only consisted of two lock heads with a so-called green vortex in between. The lock walls in such locks were therefore not lined. In short, the locks were actually no more than a piece of heifer closed off with two doors

The lock was renovated in 1997 and carried out as a work-learning project by students of the MTS "De Friese Poort in Drachten
