't Sas was a lock complex built in the seventeenth century. It operated shipping on the Dender and regulated the water level in the city canals. The lock was also used to flood the surrounding meadows.

The lock, modified in 1768 after the canalization of the Dender between Aalst and Dendermonde, remained in use as a weir until November 15, 1978, when the Dendermonding was realigned. The old lock construction is now being restored. A new bicycle and pedestrian bridge, an iron swing bridge next to the lock is in use.

Today, the Sas is a convenient bridge connecting one side of the city to the other for cyclists, but also a green oasis where you can enjoy a picnic or relax on one of the jetties along the bank. In summer, you can paddleboard or kayak to your heart's content.
