Bartkův mlýn, Historic watermill in Nivnice, Czech Republic.
Bartkův mlýn is a watermill situated on the Nivnička stream in Nivnice, built with stone and brick walls. A water wheel harnessed the stream's flow to power the grinding mechanisms and keep the operation running.
The mill was first recorded in 1592 as property under Baron Meynhart's control. Over centuries it passed through different hands until eventually gaining protection as a cultural monument.
The mill showcases grinding traditions that shaped rural life in this region. Visitors can observe how the equipment operated and understand the importance of such places in village communities.
The site is located at Komenského 99 in Nivnice and is accessible by foot or bicycle via paths around the village. Wear sturdy shoes and watch for uneven ground near the water.
A plaque from 1942 connects this location to Jan Amos Komenský, a significant historical figure. This link makes the place notable for those interested in regional history.
