Svratecký náhon, Medieval mill race in Brno, Czech Republic
The Svratecký náhon extends for 2.1 kilometers from the Kamenomlyn weir on the Svratka River through the Pisárky district to the velodrome.
The waterway, established in the 13th century, supplied water to multiple mills across Brno until most sections were buried in the 1960s during urban reconstruction.
Archaeological excavations revealed 15th and 16th-century ceramics along the banks, indicating the waterway's central role in medieval city life.
The northern and southern banks contain wooden beam structures supported by vertical piles, situated 4 meters below the current surface level.
The mill race measured 11 meters in width and served multiple functions, including water supply for local baths and waste removal for craft operations.
