Kozákův mlýn, Watermill in Uherský Brod, Czech Republic

Kozákův mlýn is a Classicist stone watermill in Uherský Brod, built around a square courtyard. The mill room and the one-storey dwelling sit under a single roof but are separated inside; the other buildings are single-storey. The plaster of the repaired building bears the date 1692, and water reached the wheel through a millrace.

The site began as a manor mill before 1615 and passed to the town in 1692 when purchased from Count Dominik Ondřej Kounic for 500 gold pieces. During a Kuruc raid in 1704 it suffered fire damage but the town rebuilt it to working order within five years.

The miller worked here using craft techniques to grind grain into flour through roller benches. The machines show how people once produced food without modern equipment.

The mill stands on Mlýnský potok in Uherský Brod, with the mill buildings arranged around a square courtyard. The mill house and the dwelling are single-storey, the other structures ground-floor only. Water reached the wheel through a millrace; look for the 1692 date on the plaster of the repaired building.

In 1930 the mill had two upper-shot water wheels, each with a fall of five metres; one delivered 3.7 HP and the other 3.1 HP. The plaster of the repaired building carries the date 1692.
