Dědkův mlýn, Historical watermill in Unhošť, Czech Republic.
Dědkův mlýn is a reconstructed single-storey mill with a tall gable on the Loděnice River between Malé Kyšice and Podkozí. An overshot water wheel stands before its western facade, and a large public outdoor rest area with a pond lies beside it. The mill has no milling equipment.
The mill takes its name from miller Martin Dědek, documented in the first half of the 18th century. From 1840 Václav Jahoda owned it, and in 1897 it was sold at auction to Karel Špačka. Václav Štěpánek, owner from 1904, added a sawmill after 1918. Expropriated in 1948, it served the Jednota cooperative as a grocery; it was returned to the original owners in 1992 and later rebuilt as a microbrewery.
The mill gave its name to the small settlement of Dědkův mlýn around it, today a popular spot for walks and cycling trips. In 1941 the mill appeared in the film Z českých mlýnů. The building now serves as a minipivovar, a small brewery, and its surroundings are being turned into a public park.
The mill stands on the Loděnice between Malé Kyšice and Podkozí, on the neck of the Okrouhlík peninsula. A footpath follows the river; the mill building itself is not part of the public park. The outdoor rest area by the pond is open to visitors, and the site is a popular stop for walkers and cyclists.
The mill's name comes from miller Martin Dědek, documented in the first half of the 18th century. In 1941 the building appeared in the film Z českých mlýnů. A Francis turbine of 19 HP was in use here in 1930, and the mill has stood without milling equipment since 2020.
