The lock was built in 1831/32 as the last lock on the canal. Here the Göta Canal was inaugurated on September 26, 1832 in the presence of King Karl XIV Johan. Here is the first of the 58 locks of the Göta Canal

Lock Keeper Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture in Söderköping depicts a canal worker in the act of opening or closing one of the heavy wooden lock gates, honoring the human effort behind the canal’s operation. It’s a tribute to the thousands of men and women who built and maintained the Göta Canal in the 19th century, many of them soldiers who carried out the hard manual work with simple tools. Today the artwork serves as both a historical reminder and a photogenic spot, giving visitors a sense of the physical labor and dedication that shaped this engineering wonder.

Smultronstället Ice Cream Restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

Unfortunately, the pictures show different ice cream parlors that are almost next to each other on the promenade. But it should mean the ice cream café with the numerous tables in front of the house and inside. The team is identifiable by their pink shirts - same hue as the 30-page ice cream chart. Tip: My personal favorite Blue-Berry-Hill !!!!
