A House with a History
From the lock keeper’s daily life
to your own visit to the canal.
This is where the lock keeper who helped the boats through the canal used to live. Today, it offers a cozy home with a kitchen, dining area, and living room—and its own yard for enjoying the outdoors.
Sit back with a cup of coffee, watch the next boat approach, and enjoy having the lock so close by. The main building and the restaurant are about 200 meters away.
