Bučický mlýn, Historic watermill in Rožďalovice, Czech Republic

Bučický mlýn is a watermill on a secluded spot by the dam of Bučický pond near Rožďalovice. The mill building, which also housed a sawmill, was rebuilt in the early 20th century and now serves as a guesthouse with a restaurant, a windmill backdrop and a terrace above the pond.

The mill operation was documented in 1639 and operated continuously for over 300 years. This long operating history shows how important water power was for grain processing in the region.

The mill displays traditional Czech milling methods and equipment that visitors can observe firsthand. The spaces tell the story of water power as an energy source for everyday work.

The mill is located in Rožďalovice with renovated guestrooms and spaces available for events throughout the year. Visitors can view the original mill structure and explore the grounds around the dam.

The current owner began rebuilding the mill into a guesthouse with a restaurant in 2000, and the terrace above the pond's surface was finished between 2004 and 2006. A windmill stands as a backdrop beside the former watermill. The site also once had a sawmill alongside the mill.
