Water mill in Makov, Historical water mill in Makov, Czech Republic.

The water mill in Makov is a single-storey timber-framed building with a mansard roof, standing on Makovský potok. Its milling equipment came from Union a.s. of České Budějovice, and a roller mill from the 1920s survives inside. Water reached the wheel through a millrace from a weir, passing a sluice gate to a turbine pit; a Francis spiral turbine from 1930 remains, with a flow of 0.072 m³/s, a head of 13.5 m and an output of 9.6 kW.

The mill was built in the last third of the 18th century and was altered structurally in the early 20th century. In 1930 it belonged to Teodor Koldovský, who owned both the mill and a sawmill. Its roller milling stand, made by Union a. s. of České Budějovice, dates from the 1920s.

The mill shows how millers and local farmers worked together to process grain into flour for daily use. Visitors can see how central this work was to village life and rural communities in the region.

The mill is located near Paseky nad Jizerou and is accessible to visitors interested in seeing traditional milling work. It is best visited during daylight hours when the mechanical details and interior workings are clearly visible.

A Francis spiral turbine from 1930 survives inside, with a flow of 0.072 m³/s, a 13.5 m head and 9.6 kW output. Water reached it through a millrace from a weir, past a sluice gate into the turbine pit. The mill also generated electricity, while a woodworking shop and a glass-grinding workshop have disappeared.
