The Zdymadlo Střekov, also called the Střekov Sluice or Masaryk Sluice, is a lock on the Elbe in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, located just below Střekov Castle. Built to navigate the often impassable Střekov rapids, it was one of the largest waterworks in the country and was regarded as having one of the most modern technical concepts in Europe. Its hydroelectric power plant entered operation in 1935, and the functionalist structure, designed by František Vahala, is protected as a cultural monument.
