Hamerský mlýn, Historic watermill in Kanice, Czech Republic
Hamerský mlýn is a historic watermill located on the Svitava River in Kanice near Brno. The structure features a large water wheel and industrial-era architectural elements that remain visible today.
The mill was established around 1900 by engineer Julius Kolář and served to manufacture gears and files using water-powered machinery. This facility demonstrated industrial water power usage in the region during that era.
The site represents the industrial heritage of the region, demonstrating the traditional methods of using water power for manufacturing processes.
The site is accessible via a cycling path that runs between Obřany and Bílovice nad Svitavou in the area north of Brno. Walking or cycling are practical ways to reach the location and explore the surrounding riverside setting.
The mill uses an Ewart chain system for power transmission, with water driving the wheel from below in a specialized mechanical arrangement. This technical feature shows the innovation that characterized industrial facilities around 1900.
