Breaking locks

In 1924, new Brekke locks were built, see pictures below. At the same time, they built the power plant and made a dam. The lake above was then raised by 13 meters and the locks at Krappeto came under water. Brekke locks from 1853 were originally 13.6 meters, and in 1924 were built to 26.6 meters - which made them Europe's highest continuous lock staircase.

Krappeto as a lock station was then closed, but the main house stands as an idyllic pearl in the Halden Canal.
