Watermill in Citov, Watermill and cultural monument in Citov, Czech Republic

The Watermill in Citov is a structure that uses flowing water to process grain, built with wooden beams, stone foundations, and mechanical parts. The gears and grinding stones are arranged so that the movement of the Morava River powers the heavy work of crushing and milling.

Citov, Věrovany and Císařov villages built a leper shelter on this site in the early 18th century; a mill was installed in the building in 1739 and rented out. In 1915 tenant Konstantin Pavlík completed electric lighting powered by his own dynamo. After nationalisation the mill passed to Olomoucké cukrovary and was taken out of operation in 1953, used only for grinding feed grain.

The site began as a leper shelter built by the villages of Citov, Věrovany and Císařov in the early 18th century; a mill was installed in the building in 1739 and rented out. A facade plaque carries the date 1739, and a statue of Saint Florian stands in front of the mill.

The mill stands in Citov on the Morávka, a branch of the Morava, in the Přerov district. The mill house and dwelling share one roof but are separate inside; the facade bears a 1739 date plaque and a sundial sits in the corner plaster. A statue of Saint Florian stands in front of the building.

The mill stopped grinding grain in 1953, after which it was used only for crushing feed; in November 1959 it was transferred as unusable to the local national committee of Citov and then to the collective farm. A small hydroelectric plant now operates in the building, while the sawmill that once stood here has vanished.
