The Barrage Vauban, or Vauban Dam, is a bridge, weir and defensive work erected in the 17th century on the River Ill in the city of Strasbourg in France. At that time, it was known as the Great Lock (grande écluse), although it does not function as a navigation lock in the modern sense of the word. Today it serves to display sculptures and has a viewing terrace on its roof, with views of the earlier Ponts Couverts bridges and Petite France quarter. It has been classified as a Monument historique since 1971.
The barrage was constructed from 1686 to 1690 in pink Vosges sandstone by the French Engineer Jacques Tarade according to plans by Vauban. The principal defensive function of the barrage was to enable, in the event of an attack, the raising the level of the River Ill and thus the flooding of all the lands south of the city, making them impassable to the enemy. This defensive measure was deployed in 1870, when Strasbourg was besieged by Prussian forces during the Franco-Prussian War, and resulted in the complete flooding of the northern part of the suburb of Neudorf.
The barrage has 13 arches and is 120 metres (390 ft) in length. Within the structure an enclosed corridor links the two banks and a lapidarium serves to display ancient plaster casts and copies of statues and gargoyles from Strasbourg Cathedral and Palais Rohan. Three of the arches are raised to permit navigation, and the corridor is carried across these by drawbridges. The roof was rebuilt in 1965-66 in order to construct the panoramic terrace. Admission to the barrage and terrace is free, and they are open daily from 09:00 to 19:30.
The Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Commanderie Saint-Jean, now home to the prestigious École Nationale d'Administration, are both adjacent to the northern end of the barrage. The headquarters (Hôtel du Département) of the Bas-Rhin department is by the southern end.

Barrage Vauban, Ill River, Ponts Couverts and Petite France in Strasbourg, France

historic Barrage Vauban on the Ill River in Strasbourg, France in sparkling HD
This is a downstream view of historic Barrage Vauban or Vauban Dam, which is a bridge, weir and defensive work on the Ill River in Strasbourg, France. This structure was constructed between 1686 and 1690 out of pink Vosges sandstone according to plans by the famous French military engineer, Vauban. The principal defensive purpose of the structure was to allow flooding of the lands south of Strasbourg in the event of attack. Although it was put to use during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71, it did not prevent the Germans from conquering the city anyway. The structure has 13 arches and is 390 feet in length. The date of filming of this was June 28, 2016. According to information received, the structure was restored in 2012. When I filmed this, we had just gotten off a Viking tour bus for a walking tour of Strasbourg. We were on a Viking Rhine Getaway Cruise and this was part of the included tour that day.
driver view Viking tour bus ride from Kehl, Germany to Barrage Vauban in Strasbourg, France (1 of 2)
This is part 1 of 2 showing a driver's view of the narrated Viking Cruises bus ride from Kehl, Germany through Strasbourg, France to the Barrage Vauban on June 28, 2016. This is an edited re-post because I realized the first couple of minutes of my original post had us just sitting in the bus before the tour started. This video begins as it should with the actual narrated tour bus ride. This was an included tour on our Rhine Getaway Cruise meaning there was no extra charge for it. FYI, during my just now re-watching this video, it really strikes me how similar the street and highway signs are here in Strasbourg to those on the island of Guadeloupe in the West Indies which is technically part of France. It totally looks like it is--the highway and street signs are exactly the same as in Strasbourg and unlike those anywhere else (that I've seen).

This is part 2 of 2 showing a driver's view of our Viking narrated bus tour of Strasbourg, France which in this video began in Kehl, Germany and ended at the Barrage Vauban in Strasbourg from where we began a walking tour of Strasbourg to the Cathedral on June 28, 2016. This is a re-post because the first few minutes of my original post mistakenly included several minutes of just sitting in the bus before the tour actually started. This is a corrected version without those minutes at the beginning.
