Dolní mlýn

Dolní mlýn is an old grain mill situated along a stream in the Czech region. The building contains a water wheel, millstones, and conveying equipment that remain visible and demonstrate how grain was processed into flour.

The mill was built during an era when water power was an economic necessity for rural communities. Over the centuries it supplied the local population with milled grain and held a central role in the economic life of the region.

The name refers to its position as the lower mill in the valley. Visitors can observe the workspace where millers once worked with the machinery and water power.

The mill can be reached on foot and the outer structures and water wheel can be viewed at close range. Those wishing to enter should check opening times in advance, as access may be limited.

The building retains its original water wheel from an earlier time, a rare example of how old mills actually functioned. This preserved wheel gives visitors a direct impression of the engineering solution that converted water flow into rotational motion.
