The windmill was built around 1865. Unfortunately we don’t
know the year exactly. We know it was working until 1902 and in
1932 it hadn’t any wing. It has been lived-in since
that’s why it is in good condition nowadays. It is one of the
most attractive windmills not only of Drahany Highlands but of the
Czech Republic also.
Originally the windmill was situated to the west, out of
village. Due to the village development, nowadays it is surrounded
by municipal buildings. The exterior of windmill has original
design, there was no construction work. The windmill walling of
lime stone is not typical for our windmills at all, except the
windmill in Rudice, which is covered by facade rendering.

This is the first one of my group of windmills I would like to
introduce to you. I’ve made up my own group. Of course
I’m not the first who had the same idea, that’s why
I’ve already asked for author agreement.
The author, who gave many years for this hobby, he agreed with
using of all this information.
You can find the results of his diligent work at Povetrnik
Don’t forget to write down the
bonus number C!!!
You will need it for bonus cache.
The size of the cache is 19x13x5 cm.
