Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen is a hamlet in Friesland, known for its historic lock complex and harbor. Designed by Willem de Loré, the complex included a drainage sluice and a navigation lock, which once played a vital role in water management and shipping between the Frisian inland waterway and the Wadden Sea. Although the locks lost their function as sea locks after the damming of the Lauwerszee, they remain important for water drainage and are a national monument.
