Windmill, Dutch-style windmill in Horní Vítkov, Czech Republic
The windmill stands at an elevation of 484.5 meters north of the village, near the Polish border, featuring traditional architectural elements of Central Europe.
The structure operated during a period when grain processing relied on wind power, serving agricultural needs of local farmers before modern machinery arrived.
The windmill location became a gathering point for community events, connecting residents through shared agricultural activities and social interactions.
Visitors can reach the windmill site using local roads from Chrastava municipality, following markers that lead to its coordinates at 50.864 latitude and 14.972833 longitude.
The remaining structure presents an example of wind-powered engineering methods used in northern Czech Republic, marking the intersection of traditional and industrial periods.
