Steam Pumping Station De Oude Horn

In 1787, the De Horn lock became part of the Old Dutch Waterline. The Old Dutch Waterline could make the land impassable for an army and unnavigable for ships with a depth of approximately 30 by 50 centimetres. With the arrival of the New Dutch Waterline in 1815, the function of the lock was taken over by the locks at Fort bij Asperen.Glassworks
