This sluice gate is just next to the bridge you cross when you enter Bergün from North. You have to walk around the bakery and then down to the river; it is also visible from the bridge.

It is used to get water from the river into a small pond some metres away. I have no idea what it is or was exactly used for, but it is still working.
