Větrný mlýn v Borovnici, Dutch-style windmill in Borovnice, Czech Republic.
The wooden windmill contains two rooms filled with gears, shafts, and functional milling equipment spread across multiple floors connected by wooden stairs.
Five windmills operated in Borovnice until the 20th century, with the last original structure being dismantled in 1968 following a decision by heritage authorities.
The Větrák Association maintains this replica windmill to preserve traditional milling techniques and agricultural heritage for future generations of the region.
The windmill opens for visitors every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 17:00, with special tours available for groups of ten or more.
The mill features a four-meter diameter wheel that transfers energy to a smaller gear wheel, which then powers the millstone for grain processing.
