Watermill in Salajna, Cultural monument watermill in Salajna, Czech Republic

The Watermill in Salajna (Gahmühle) stands on Šitbořský potok in the village of Salajna, part of Dolní Žandov. The mill and house share one roof but are laid out separately; the single-storey buildings are partly masonry, partly log-built and partly half-timbered, with half-timbered gables added in the second half of the 18th century. It is a typical closed Cheb half-timbered farmstead of the Franconian type.

The Gahmühle watermill and its farmstead were founded in the 17th century on the bank of the Šitbořský stream in the middle of Salajna. A rebuild in the second half of the 18th century gave it half-timbered gables, and a sawmill with a frame saw was later added. It is a typical closed Cheb half-timbered farmstead of the Franconian type.

The mill's German name Gahmühle survives from the German-speaking Cheb (Eger) region, and the farmstead is a typical enclosed Franconian-type timber-framed Cheb farm. The millrace that once fed three overshot water wheels is gone, but the concrete base of the saw's frame saw survives in the small pond in front of the mill, dug on the saw's site.

The mill stands in the middle of Salajna, on the bank of the Šitbořský potok, in the Cheb district. The former sawmill site is now a small pond in front of the building; only the concrete base of its frame saw survives there. The mill building and mill room share one roof but are separate in layout.

The mill's three upper-shot water wheels, recorded in 1930 with outputs of 2.9 HP, are gone, as is the sawmill with its frame saw. Only the concrete base of the saw frame survives, set in a small pond in front of the mill that was created on the sawmill's site.
