Stecherův mlýn, Historical watermill in Litvínovice, Czech Republic.

The watermill complex consists of multiple buildings situated on the left bank of the Vltava River, approximately 500 meters from České Budějovice.

The site initially housed a fulling mill in the 18th century until Vojtěch Lanna purchased it in 1837 and transformed it into a sawmill.

The facility manufactured oak parquet flooring from 1841, supplying materials to prestigious locations in Vienna, Linz, and Hluboká Castle.

Two Jonval water turbines powered by water from the Rožnov weir provided the mechanical energy needed for the mill operations.

The meteorological station at Stecherův mlýn recorded the lowest temperature in Czech history at -42.2°C on February 11, 1929.
