Bartkův mlýn, Watermill in Nivnice, Czech Republic

Bartkův mlýn is a watermill on the Nivnička stream in Nivnice whose core dates from the 16th century. The complex consists of a dwelling house and an adjoining farm building, partly of stone and partly of brick. Inside, the milling equipment made in 1947 by Jos. Prokop a synové of Pardubice survives, along with the cast-iron shaft and remains of the wooden parts of the water wheel.

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.
