Windmill in Klobouky u Brna, Column-type windmill in Klobouky u Brna, Czech Republic

The windmill in Klobouky u Brna is a wooden structure built in the 19th century using traditional South Moravian construction methods. The building displays typical grain mill features with mechanical components that are still visible today.

The oldest of six windmills in Klobouky, built in 1748, was saved by the local museum association and the Brno monument office, bought by the town's savings bank and reopened in 1940; the Red Army destroyed it in April 1945. In 1982 a wooden windmill built in 1825 in Pacetluky was moved to the site and reconstructed between 1982 and 1984.

The mill represents farming traditions that shaped this region for centuries and shows how people once processed grain by hand. Today visitors can see the methods and tools that were essential to daily life in this agricultural area.

The building sits on open grounds and is easily accessible from outside for visitors who want to view the historic mill structure. It is best to visit during dry weather to see the surroundings and building details clearly.

Six windmills once stood in Klobouky u Brna, not eight. The oldest, from 1748, was bought by the local savings bank and reopened in 1940, only to be destroyed by the Red Army in April 1945. The present mill, built in 1825 at Pacetluky, was moved here in 1982.
