vala023153_klevbrinken_dock_hori_250.jpg (17791 bytes)Klevbrinken is the location of the third dock to be built on the Göta Canal. It was completed in 1827. Originally, it was to be constructed east of Söderköping. The dock was primarily built to meet the needs of the island fleet for a repair shipyard. The shipyard area can be filled and emptied without affecting canal traffic.

The water from the docks was also used for irrigation.

In von Röök's proposal from 1774, however, there is no evidence of a lock.
