Vodní mlýn (Holubov) Water mill

Welcome to the Holubov Mill, also known as the Krossetzer Mühle, a unique monument located northwest of the village of Holubov on the Křemžský creek. This water mill is an excellent example of the historical and technical heritage that deserves your attention.

You're standing in front of a building that dates back to 1600. The mill was originally a part of the property of the Czech Krumlov estate and has undergone many transformations since then. In 1913 the mill cooperative bought, which was a significant step towards its renewal and modernisation. The reconstruction in 1929 brought not only an increase in the building, but also a fascinating facade in the geometrical Art Nouveau, which you can see today.

Look up and you'll see a combination of Renaissance elements and geometric secession. This architectural mix represents a unique time when traditions encountered modern design. The interior of the mill is also full of history; For example, the mill stores three perimeter walls from the Renaissance era decorated with letter sgraffiti, which is a detail that you can really see.

Over the years the mill was part of various historical events and changes. In 1953 he was nationalized and taken over by the company South Bohemia mills and bakeries, which reflected broader economic and political trends at the time. Later, in 1955, he was finely taken over by JZD of the Lance for use as a grain warehouse.

What's interesting about this place? The mill not only has a rich history, but since 1999 it has also been protected as a real-estate cultural monument of the Czech Republic and a technical monument. This means that every detail of this place has been carefully preserved for future generations.

Now pay attention to the atmosphere around the mill. You feel like you've gotten to a different time when every stone plate and tree is talking about the past. The mill is not only a monument to architecture, but also a witness to the lives of people who have worked here for centuries.

Let's move closer and look at the facade. See how the Renaissance elements are harmonically related to the geometrical details? This style is a rare example that captures every historical and architectural enthusiast.

Finally, I would invite you to explore the surrounding part of Holubov and its natural beauty. The mill is just one of the many great places this area offers. I hope your visit was inspiring and full of discoveries.
