Šiškův mlýn, Historical watermill in Vanov, Czech Republic.

Šiškův mlýn is a watermill on the Telčský stream in Vanov, built around a square courtyard with the mill building, barns, stables and a sawmill. The two-storey brick mill stands on a slope, partly cellared, with a saddle roof and facades divided by narrow string courses and decorated with stucco. Three restored cascade waterwheels by J. Myška of Studnice survive but are out of service.

The mill was built in 1477 and renewed in 1793, the date the sources give for its rebuilding. Since 2000 the mill complex has served as a hotel with a golf course. The site stands on the Telčský potok in Vanov, Jihlava District, and is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The mill's name refers to the Šiška family, former owners of this watermill on the Telčský stream. Its working parts survive: three upper-shot water wheels made by J. Myška of Studnice stand in a cascade and were restored during the site's renovation, though they no longer turn. The mill has served as a hotel with a golf course since 2000.

The mill stands in Vanov on the Telčský potok, with the buildings grouped around a square courtyard. The three restored water wheels sit in a cascade along the longer side of the main building, where the remains of the wooden millrace from the mill's own pond can still be traced. The wheels and flumes are weathered and not in working order.

The mill's three preserved overshot water wheels, made by J. Myška of Studnice, were restored during the site's renovation but are not operational: the flumes and wheels are warped and, lacking a wheelhouse, deteriorate quickly when wet. In 1930 the mill had two overshot wheels and a turbine.
