       The old weir in Obříství (name either from "Obří," which is "huge" in English, or from "Obřízka," which is "circumcision" - I dont know for sure, but lets say the village is not very big...) was built between 1908-1912 and is a significant technical monument of water engineering from the early 20th century. It was designed by architect Pavel Janák. The weir consists of three reinforced concrete pillars, with a steel bridge structure between the embankment and the central pillar. Until 1974, it regulated the water level in the Elbe to ensure navigation, after which its function was taken over by a more modern one built approximately 400 meters downstream.#urbex #myphoto #photography #exploration #originalcontent
