Location where boats gain access to the canal.
The lock walls of the lock chamber are built with basalt stones, the other locks in the canal with bricks. Why can no longer be determined afterwards. A bicycle bridge is located over the chamber.
Historical explanation: The canal was built with private capital from 1825, officially opened on 13 April 1829 and was given the name Griftkanaal. The wooden lock was then 22 m long and 4.30 m wide.

The lock has been rebuilt several times over its 200-year history to allow passage for larger ships. It is no longer in operation.
