The Torensluis
An example of such a 'sluis' is the Torensluis. This was never a lock used to regulate water levels, but has always been a proper stone bridge. A nice detail: the Torensluis is so called because a tower used to stand on it, the Jan Roodenpoortstoren. The tower was removed as early as 1829, but to this day you can still see the footprint of the tower. That is because in 2003, at the request of the Vereniging Vrienden van de Amsterdamse Binnenstad (Friends of the Amsterdam City Centre), the footprint was laid out in the cobbled paving, using cobbles of a different colour.
