Windmill Ruprechtov, Technical monument in Ruprechtov, Czech Republic
The windmill stands 16 meters tall with a 10-meter diameter turbine weighing 2 tons, featuring a rotating roof and mechanical grinding equipment.
Built in 1873 as a Dutch-type windmill, owner Cyril Wagner later replaced its original wind wheel with a Halladay turbine after storm damage.
The building earned recognition as a Czech cultural monument in 1958, leading to its representation on a postage stamp and commemorative coin in 2009.
Located at coordinates 49.3327 latitude and 16.8481 longitude near Brno, the facility maintains its original milling machinery despite ending operations in 1960.
The structure contains the only Halladay turbine in Europe, designed by American farmer Daniel Halladay with automatically adjusting vanes controlled by double tail rods.
