Epanchoir is a hydraulic project in Neuss Dreikönigenviertel, connecting Obererft and Nordkanal, designed to regulate the water level of the canal connecting the Rhine River and Antwerp. Napoleon Bonaparte built it in 1809. Chief engineer Aimable Hageau is in charge of this work. The lock has four openings and is equipped with adjustable iron protective plates. This makes it possible to control drainage. However, the building was not used as planned, as the Netherlands became France in 1810, and hence the Dutch seaport became France. The canal project did not proceed subsequently. Most of the factory was built later. In 2009, to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the building, the city decided to renovate the building. The costly renovation was completed in 2016.
