Vacardův mlýn

Vacardův mlýn is a watermill on the Labe River in northern Czech Republic, equipped with traditional millstones and machinery for grain processing. The building stands directly beside the river, which once powered the wheels that ground the grain.

The mill developed during a period when water power formed the foundation of regional economy and mills served as central facilities for grain processing. The structure documents an important phase of industrial development in this river region.

The building reveals how water power shaped daily life and the economic structure of the valley for centuries. The layout of the rooms and preserved tools tell the story of how such mills served as vital meeting points for farmers and local craftspeople.

The site is best visited during drier weather, as the riverside path can become slippery. Contact regional tourism offices for information about guided tours and current visiting conditions.

The mill preserves a rare set of machinery that shows how millers controlled and optimized the grinding process. Visitors can observe how every component worked together to process grain efficiently.
