  • The Barrage Vauban, or Vauban Dam, is a bridge, weir and defensive work erected in the 17th century on the River Ill in the city of Strasbourg in France. At that time, it was known as the Great Lock (grande écluse), although it does not function as a navigation lock in the modern sense of the word. Today it serves to display sculptures and has a viewing terrace on its roof, with views of the earlier Ponts Couverts bridges and Petite France quarter. It has been classified as a Monument historique since 1971. The barrage was constructed from 1686 to 1690 in pink Vosges sandstone by the French Engineer Jacques Tarade according to plans by Vauban. The principal defensive function of the barrage was to enable, in the event of an attack, the raising the level of the River Ill and thus the flooding of all the lands south of the city, making them impassable to the enemy. This defensive measure was deployed in 1870, when Strasbourg was besieged by Prussian forces during the Franco-Prussian War, and resulted in the complete flooding of the northern part of the suburb of Neudorf. The barrage has 13 arches and is 120 metres (390 ft) in length. Within the structure an enclosed corridor links the two banks and a lapidarium serves to display ancient plaster casts and copies of statues and gargoyles from Strasbourg Cathedral and Palais Rohan. Three of the arches are raised to permit navigation, and the corridor is carried across these by drawbridges. The roof was rebuilt in 1965-66 in order to construct the panoramic terrace. Admission to the barrage and terrace is free, and they are open daily from 09:00 to 19:30. The Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the , now home to the prestigious École Nationale d'Administration, are both adjacent to the northern end of the barrage. The headquarters (Hôtel du Département) of the Bas-Rhin department is by the southern end. (en)

  • Il Barrage Vauban, o Vauban Dam, è un ponte coperto, sbarramento e opera difensiva eretta nel XVII secolo sul fiume Ill a Strasburgo, odierna Francia.All'epoca era noto come grande écluse, anche se non faceva da chiusa nel senso moderno del termine.Oggi è utilizzato per esporre sculture e dispone di una terrazza panoramica sul tetto, con vista sui precedenti Ponts Couverts e sul quartiere Petite France.È classificato dal 1971 come monumento storico. Lo sbarramento venne costruito nel 1686-1690, in arenaria rosa Vosgi, dall'ingegnere francese Jacques Tarade su progetto di Vauban. La funzione difensiva principale della diga era quella di consentire, in caso di un attacco, l'innalzamento del livello del fiume Ill e quindi l'allagamento di tutte le terre a sud della città, rendendole impraticabili al nemico. Questa misura difensiva venne sfruttata nel 1870, quando Strasburgo venne assediata dalle forze prussiane durante la guerra franco-prussiana, e provocò l'allagamento completo della parte settentrionale del sobborgo di Neudorf. Lo sbarramento ha 13 arcate ed è lungo 120 metri. All'interno della struttura, un corridoio chiuso collega le due sponde del fiume e un lapidario serve per esporre antichi plastici e copie di statue provenienti dalla Cattedrale di Strasburgo e dal Palazzo dei Rohan. Tre degli archi sono sollevati per consentire la navigazione, e il corridoio è collegato a questi per mezzo di un ponte levatoio. Il tetto è stato ricostruito nel 1965-66, al fine di costruire la terrazza panoramica. L'ammissione allo sbarramento e alla terrazza è gratuita, e sono aperti ogni giorno dalle 09:00 alle 19:30. Il Museo d'arte mederna e contemporanea e la Commanderie Saint-Jean, ora sede della École nationale d'administration, sono entrambe adiacenti al terminale nord dello sbarramento. Il quartier generale (Hôtel du Département) del dipartimento del Basso Reno si trova all'estremità sud. (it)
