The weather was just too beautiful for a visit to the exhibition 🍀🤷‍♀️! But the architecture alone is worth seeing, and the café terrace is a great oasis of calm in the middle of the lively city ☕️🥂☀️🤩

Lock V was the last lock on the Wilhelmina Canal, and it differed in several respects from the other four locks. The lock has since been not only decommissioned but also largely demolished. Only the outlines of the former lock at Lieshout are still visible. Source: bhic.nl
