Hammer Mill at Dobřív, Water-powered hammer mill in Dobřív, Czech Republic.
The mill building stretches 32 meters in length and houses forges, hammers, grinding machines, and bending equipment powered by three operational water wheels.
Built in 1825, this industrial facility replaced older wooden hammer mills from 1658 and 1701, serving as a center for iron processing and tool manufacturing.
The mill represents the first technical monument in the Plzeň Region and received national cultural monument status in 2010 for its industrial heritage value.
The facility operates as a museum where visitors can observe blacksmithing demonstrations and participate in courses to learn traditional metalworking techniques.
Three water wheels continue to generate power, each producing 8 kilowatts of electricity while driving the original 19th-century hammering mechanisms.
