Watermill in Práče, Watermill in Záběhlice, Prague 10, Czech Republic.
The Watermill in Práče is a historic milling facility in the Záběhlice district of Prague. The building contains traditional grinding mechanisms powered by water diverted from a stream, with a system of wheels and gears that process grain.
The site dates to the 18th century and preserves how milling technology was constructed and refined during that period. Its mechanical components and building structure reflect the gradual improvements in grain-processing methods that evolved across the region.
The mill site reflects how water power shaped daily routines in the village and how milling knowledge was passed down through families. You can observe today how central this facility was to community life, grinding grain and supporting local needs.
The location sits in an easily accessible district where visitors interested in traditional crafts can reach it comfortably. Taking time to walk through and observe how the different mechanical parts fit together helps you appreciate how the system worked as a whole.
The building preserves its original vertical water wheel, a design that transferred energy from flowing water much more efficiently than earlier types. This specific wheel configuration was a key technical advance that allowed more grain to be processed faster.
