Water Lock, Ganggyeong

The water lock has a triple-gate structure: the first and second gates were installed adjacent to each other on the same foundation, while the third gate was built some distance away. A footbridge was installed to allow crossing over the waterway. The gates themselves no longer survive, but the remains of their opening and closing mechanisms are well preserved. The facility was built to allow the loading and unloading of cargo unaffected by the tides, to regulate the water level of the river, and to prevent flood damage, and it is valuable as an industrial facility of the modern period.
