Windmill in Rymice, Wooden windmill in Rymice, Czech Republic.

The windmill in Rymice is a German-type post mill moved here in 1977 from Bořenovice, where it was built in 1795. It stands 11.2 m tall on a 5.8×5.8 m plan, with a shingled roof and plank cladding pierced by narrow and round windows. Its four-bladed wheel measures 14.8 m across, each blade 6.5 m², and drives a 3.3 m cogwheel with 96 teeth turning one pair of 1.2 m millstones.

The mill was built in 1795 when village residents relied on wind power to process their grain harvest. This building is a leftover from a time when such structures formed the heart of rural economy.

The structure shows how important wind power was for village life and how people managed their daily work back then. Visitors today can see how the construction reflects the craftsmanship and skills of that era.

The mill is located in the village of Rymice in Kroměříž District and is best explored on foot. When visiting, you should expect changing weather and bring appropriate clothing, as the site sits in open, windy countryside.

The mill has kept its original wooden construction from the 18th century, making it a rare example that still shows how the old systems worked. Many such buildings have disappeared or been heavily changed, so this one is a valuable witness to the crafts methods of that time.
