Old mill in Březová, Watermill in Březová, Czech Republic
The Old Mill in Březová is a two-story building with a high saddle roof, timber frame on the ground floor, and half-timbered first floor near Karlovy Vary. A wooden belfry tops the gable, and shingles cover the roof.
The mill was built in 1899 on the site of the earlier Labitzky Mill. It initially served as a restaurant for local shooting club members.
The building displays regional timber craftsmanship through its decorative gable and carved balcony railing, elements that remain visible to visitors today. These details reflect the skilled work that was typical when constructing such structures in this area.
The mill is accessible by public transportation from Karlovy Vary and sits in a location that invites leisurely exploration on foot. The exterior architecture can be viewed from the street, and the surrounding area provides a sense of the local setting.
The building operated as a restaurant for more than a century, making it a living record of daily life in the region before becoming a protected monument. This extended use for dining and gathering sets it apart from many other preserved structures.
