Dřevíček, Historic watermill in Horní Dřevíč, Czech Republic.

Dřevíček is a watermill in Horní Dřevíč, standing lengthwise along the road and the Dřevíč stream. A farm wing with a cowshed and pigsty adjoins it perpendicularly, and a brick cellar lies south of that wing. Water reached the mill via a roughly 250-metre millrace; the original overshot wheel is gone, but a later Francis turbine and the mill's artistic millstones survive.

The mill is probably of late medieval origin and was first mentioned in 1734, when Josef Vacek bought it. The building was altered between 1919 and 1922, and its technological equipment dates from 1925–1938. It has been protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic since 2013.

This watermill bears a name connected to families who operated it for generations as part of village life. The site reflects how such mills were central gathering places where farming communities brought their grain for processing.

The mill stands in Horní Dřevíč by the Dřevíč stream, its building set lengthwise along the road and the watercourse, with a farm wing of cowshed and pigsty attached at right angles and a brick cellar to its south. The former millrace that fed the wheel ran about 250 metres.

The mill's original water wheel disappeared, but the Francis turbine installed later still survives, as does the mill's artistic gearing. The 250-metre millrace that once fed the wheel can still be traced in the landscape.
