Větrný mlýn u čp. 344 Windmill
Větrný mlýn u čp. 344 in the village Lichnov is a historical monument that attracts attention to its architecture and location on the hill Kukačka (516 m above sea level). This Dutch type of mill, built of quarry stone with a tapered roof covered by slate, was recognised as a cultural monument in 1963. Its history dates back to 1736, suggesting its long-standing function and importance for the region.
The first written mention of the mill dates back to 1736, when it was already an important part of the local environment. In 1963 there was official recognition of its historical value and the mill was entered into the Central List of Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic, which highlights its importance for the region.
The architecture of the mill is typical of Dutch construction: a three-storey building with irregularly placed windows and a tapered roof covered with shale. In 1995, the mill was repaired, the new shale roof covered and ready for recreational use.
Although the history of administration and ownership is not fully documented, recognition as a cultural monument suggests different owners and administrators over the years. Key events include his status, official recognition in 1963 and renovation in 1995.
Today the mill serves as a recreational object where visitors can explore its historical and architectural values as well as enjoy the natural beauty of the Lichnov area. Its location on the hill Kukačka offers attractive views.

Tips for visitors
For the best visual experience we recommend a visit during late afternoon. At this time, the sun illuminates the tapered roof and texture of the quarry stone, creating ideal conditions for photography on the hill Kukáčka.
You can reach the mill by car or public transport. It is advisable to park in the village Lichnov and then continue on foot.
Take comfortable shoes for walking in nature and plenty of drinking water. Due to the position on the hill it can be windy in the surroundings, therefore the windbreaker can also be useful.
For families with children, the way to the mill is a pleasant walk in nature. Children can observe the surrounding vegetation and watch an interesting building that stands in a high place.
