Very interesting, I was not aware about this. Thanks for this curiosity.
I did some searches and discovered that in England it's a stone arch(decoration) over a tiny straight up floodgate, but in Netherlands... that's truly something else, same floodgate type with same tech but double arched floodgate, they started to build it in 1960, first part finished in 1965, the full project finished in 1970
