At the time of its construction at the crossing of the Hérault river and the Canal du Midi in 1680, this lock was a one of a kind piece of work.
River constructions
the passage of Libron
For lack of relief, it was impossible to build an aqueduct at the crossing of the Libron river and the Canal du Midi. In 1857, it was decided to build a metal structure with sluice gates, allowing the waters of the Libron to pass in the case of flooding. This is a unique structure.
