Windmill Chvalkovice, Brick windmill in Chvalkovice, Czech Republic.

Windmill Chvalkovice is a cylindrical brick windmill of Dutch type on a circular plan, 8 m high and 7.7 m in diameter, with walls 0.80 m thick. It is topped by a conical roof covered in shingles: a 3.15 m high sixteen-sided pyramid. Two rectangular entrances pierce the walls, along with small windows with splayed reveals.

This building was constructed in 1873 from brick and served as an important facility for grain processing in the region. It operated for several decades before newer machinery and methods replaced traditional wind-powered milling.

This structure shows how grain milling shaped daily life and work in the Moravian countryside. Visitors can observe how the building reflects the practical needs and skills of those who depended on it for their livelihood.

The mill stands on a hill at 380 m above sea level southwest of the village centre, reached by an unmarked path from the village. The ground around the brick tower is uneven, so sturdy footwear helps. The building is privately maintained and not open as a museum.

The mill's two grinding stones, 0.91 m across, ran at different speeds: the taller one reached 119 turns per minute, the lower 113. Its 13.2 m wind wheel drove sails of 8.2 m² each. The present shingle roof was laid by the great-grandson of the last miller.
