Sova's Mills, Cultural monument in Malá Strana, Czech Republic

Located on Kampa Island's left bank of the Vltava River, Sova's Mills features Renaissance, Neoclassical, and Gothic Revival architectural elements across its structure.

The mills, first documented in 1393, underwent transformation from Gothic to Renaissance style in 1589 when a new stone structure replaced the earlier wooden building.

The building now houses Museum Kampa, displaying an extensive collection of contemporary art, with particular emphasis on works by Czech painter František Kupka.

The museum facility offers guided tours in multiple languages, and visitors can access the site through public transportation stops near Kampa Island.

A large glass cube mounted on the building required helicopter assistance for installation, adding a modern architectural element to this historical structure.
