Canal du Centre Boat Lift No. 3

Highlight • Monument

This series of boat lifts on the Canal du Centre is an extraordinarily impressive example of the art of engineering from previous generations. Even back then, people found solutions to problems that at first glance seemed insoluble using relatively simple means, namely how to overcome a considerable difference in height with a ship that was not possible using the previous methods of simple lock construction. This construction has therefore quite rightly been recognized as an industrial world cultural heritage site by UNESCO.

A 15-minute film documentary (in German) is available in the ARD media library as part of the series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" => ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/canal-du-centre-die-vier-schiffshebewerke-des-canal-du-centre-belgien-folge-375/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82NjEwNTUy

Canal du Centre Boat Lift No. 4

Highlight • Monument

The ship lifts on the Centrumkanaal are special constructions that ensure that ships can bridge the required height difference. The ships are lifted by four hydraulic lifts, after which they can sail further.
