Podzámecký mlýn, Renaissance watermill in Brandýs nad Labem, Czech Republic.
Description
Podzámecký mlýn is a Renaissance grain mill that stands on the Elbe riverbank near a stone bridge. The building contains eleven water wheels and demonstrates the technical solutions of milling from that era.
History
In the early 17th century under Emperor Rudolf II, this became the largest operating mill in the Kingdom of Bohemia. The structure survived through the following centuries and remained an example of milling technology from that time.
Culture
The mill shows how important water power was for daily work in this region. You can see how the building sits directly on the river and used the infrastructure for milling operations.
Practical
The building is not accessible to visitors, but you can view the exterior and structure from the adjacent stone bridge. This vantage point offers the best view of the building side and the water-power system.
Did you know?
Next to the mill was a precious stone grinding workshop run by the Miseroni family for the emperor until the Thirty Years War interrupted operations. This combination of grain milling and artistic craftsmanship was unusual for the time and shows the site's importance.
