Windmill in Šenov

Windmill in Šenov, Historic windmill in Šenov, Czech Republic.

The Windmill in Šenov is a small rectangular wooden structure measuring 3.75 by 2.8 metres, with a saddle roof and a total height of 5.7 metres including its wind turbine. The turbine has 12 blades on a 2-metre diameter, and the original grinding equipment inside includes a prismatic sieve, a 1:2 bevel gear and 0.5-metre millstones.

The windmill was built in 1922 on Škrbeňská Street and later moved to Kostelní 128. It was renovated in 2013. A recess for an electric motor was added later, which kept it in use into the 1970s. It is now part of the Šenov Museum's outdoor collection.

The windmill shows how grain grinding was central to village life and brought people together around a practical necessity. It stands as a reminder of skills and knowledge that shaped the daily rhythms of farming communities.

The mill stands by the Chapel of Divine Providence and the Šenov museum, on the Šenov educational trail loop; entry is ticketed. The turbine's twelve blades span 2 m, and the original grinding set with its 0.5 m millstones sits inside a 3.75 x 2.8 m building.

The mill's original grinding set survives: a square-plan sifter, a 1:2 bevel gear and millstones 0.5 m across. Its turbine carries 12 blades on a 2 m diameter. The building was later fitted with a recess for an electric motor, which kept it in use into the 1970s.
