Mohelno Mill, Watermill in Mohelno, Czech Republic.
Mohelno Mill stands on the Jihlava River less than a kilometre south of Mohelno. Its dominant feature is a three-storey mill building, with a residential wing and a domed solarium attached to its south side; farm buildings enclose the courtyard. A small hydroelectric plant houses three turbine sets of 45 kW, 22 kW and 15 kW.
The mill was first mentioned in writing in 1368 and changed hands repeatedly, falling derelict and being restored. In the mid-18th century it passed to the Tkaný family, who held it until 1930; in 1937 it was bought at auction by Ing. Hájek of Prague, who gave it to his secretary Marie Volavková. Its present form dates from a complete rebuild in 1938.
The mill's gallery, Čertův ocas, is named after the rocky meander of the Jihlava River nearby and holds a permanent exhibition by the Stir up group. Opposite the mill, on the slope above the road, stands a stone cross set up by miller Jakub Tkaný on 8 September 1806.
