Podlouňovický mlýn Mill
Objekt se nedochoval — na místě dnes nestojí. Následující text popisuje jeho historii, ne současnou návštěvu.
Podlouňovický mlýn in Louňovice pod Blaník, district Benesov, is a extinct water mill with history dating back to the 16th century. Originally a man's wooden object was built by a bridge over the Blanici River under the dam pond. Due to frequent floods and fires in 1834, the building was destroyed.
Six years later, a new brick storey mill appeared on site, which had separate parts for mills and homes. The water was brought from the blind shoulder of Blanice to the water wheels. Since 1840 there was also a Canadian file built from wood without the use of nails.
The mill was rented out and later sold to private miners. Among them was Hynek Crane, who was later Mayor of Louňovice. After World War I, Václav Mikšovský took over, which modernized and electrified the mill. The mill survived after 1948 when it was nationalized, and abandoned after moving the mill in 1977.
The mill is connected to the literature on Blanik. It is mentioned by Josef Kajetán Tyl, Václav Kliment Klicpera and Jarmila Saint. On 12 May 1868 Hynek Jeřábek led a festive procession with a bonic cornerstone for the National Theatre in Prague, which was celebrated by the drop-off of the alley lip. This alley was declared memorable and consisted of nine lepers and one mountain elm.
The mill has been protected as a cultural monument since the 1960s, but the protection was abolished in 1982 due to insufficient maintenance and construction collapse. In 1983 they bought the Zdeněk Löbl and Ladislav Šturm object, but failed to reconstruct it. The original buildings were gradually destroyed and the site was settled in 1990 for safety.
Today the mill no longer exists as a building, but its history is part of the cultural landscape of Louňovice pod Blaník. The site reminds of the miller tradition and literary legends, which are worth visiting, especially in connection with the memorable lip alley.

Podlouňovický mlýn has an interesting history that starts as a wooden object built at the bridge over the Blanice River. However, this first condition was destroyed by fire in 1834.
