Vodní pila Penikov, Water sawmill in Stoječín, Czech Republic
The wooden structure of Vodní pila Penikov features a ground floor built into the pond embankment and contains a vertical frame saw construction.
The sawmill's equipment dates back to 1865 and continued operations until the 1950s, when its activities became intermittent before ceasing in the early 1970s.
The facility stands as a testament to traditional Czech wood processing methods, demonstrating the integration of water power with local manufacturing techniques.
Visitors can attend guided tours from May to September, with demonstrations of lumber processing techniques showing the complete wood cutting operation.
The sawmill maintains its original wooden mechanical system, where logs enter through gates and move on carts for precise cutting by the water-powered vertical saw.
