This article presents selected European and Polish hydrotechnical structures of waterways, their history, present state and the latest construction trends. Waterways were pushed to the back as a means of transport for industry when the rail and roads developed. Nowadays there are new possibilities arising for waterways as water tourism has become a very popular way of leisure. The key attraction for tourists on water is navigating through hydrotechnical structures, for example locks. Europe can proud itself on considerable achievement in this field. Numerous, unique and brilliant lock constructions still working are the “living” proof of the European technical thought.
