Vodní mlýn (Horní Maršov) Water mill
The Water Mill in the Upper Maršov district of Trutnov is a monument from the first half of the 19th century, which stands on the Lysečín stream. The building has been used for grinding grain and production of flax oil and since 1998 it has been protected as a real cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The construction represents an important representative of the rural craft from the period of transition to industrial production.
The mill was created in the first half of the 19th century. At that time in the Czech countries there was a development of rural craft and there were many specialized mills that provided crop processing for the local community.
The building has a walled storey front part on which still remains of rich stucco decoration are visible. On the southeast side is added the economic-operating part covered by the saddle roof. The representative input is located on the northwest side; In the stone lining there are two winged wooden doors with segment skylight which protects the forged grate. The entrance corridor is equipped with ceramic tiles and a glass of two arches. The living rooms have flat ceilings and wooden boards on the floor, while the staircase to the floor leads from the southeast side.
In addition to grinding grain, the mill produced oil from linseed. The technical records from 1930 show that on the southeast side led the drive to a coke on top of the water. This round had a diameter of 14 feet and a width of 3 feet and 6 inches, with a flow of 0.22 m ³ / s, a drop of 5.3 m and a power of 10.1 k. Operation of the mill ended with the end of World War II and after 1945 the building finally lost its original function.
At present, the original technology and the water wheel were no longer preserved in the building. The construction remains a valuable architectural testimony of the past thanks to preserved elements of the facade and interior.
The value of this mill lies in its architectural integrity and a reminder of local industrial development. Visiting the building allows you to see the history of rural crop processing in the region.

Welcome to a place full of history and beauty - you stand before the water mill in Upper Maršov. This ancient object, built on the Lyseka stream, is the real pearl of this region. Note the walls with the bunk front and the remains of the rich stucco decoration, which suggests the former glory of this place.
This mill was created in the first half of the 19th century and for centuries it served as a necessary facility for the local population, which was grinding grain and producing linseed oil. Although the specific architects of the mill remain unknown, their work persists as a testament to the skills and lifestyle of the then inhabitants.
Look up at the front of the building. Here you can see the remains of stucco decoration that once decorated the entire facade. These details are proof of the artistic and technical championships that have been inserted into this building.
In 1930 the mill on the upper water had a record of technical parameters with a power of 10.1 K, which was spectacular for that time. This system enabled efficient operation and served as an important part of miller activity.
However, since 1945 the mill was no longer used in its original function. The operation ended, but the object retained its historical value and was officially registered as a real-estate cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 1998.
The interesting feature of this place is its multipurpose character. Apart from grinding the grain, the mill also served to produce linseed oil, which was essential for the economy at the time.
Now look around and take your time to fully listen to the silent stories this mill can tell. Every stone has a history, and every sound of the water stream brings back memories of past days.

Tips for visitors
The best time to visit is late spring or summer, when the surroundings of the creek are full of green and the building of the mill excels in contrast to nature. In these months it is also more pleasant to move around the water flow.
You can easily reach the mill by car.
We recommend that you take fixed shoes suitable for field movement around the stream and camera. If you plan to stay longer in nature, do not forget the water bottle and the insect protection.
The best light to capture the historical architecture of the mill is in the morning. Ideal shots can be obtained from the banks of the Lysečín creek, where the walled construction of the building will stand out in combination with running water.
For families with children, the location is suitable for easy walks. Children can observe the flow of the stream and discover the history of grinding grain, which can be an interesting lesson about the life of our ancestors in the foothills.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring the mill comes alive due to snow melting, which means a stronger flow of water and fresh air. Nature begins to bloom around and the surroundings are well green. We recommend water-resistant shoes because the road can be amused. The best thing is to come in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
The summer season brings bright light and dense shade of green, which in combination with water creates a refreshing environment. The atmosphere is full of life and singing birds. Due to the largest number of visitors, select a very early arrival. Dress light and breathable substances to avoid overheating.
In autumn, the landscape around the mill is painted in golden and red tones, while morning fog gives the place a mysterious touch. It's a time of peace and deep reflection. Layer clothes are suitable to protect you from the cold wind. Visit the memory in the afternoon when the sun gently illuminates the historical walls.
In winter, the mill is a dream, especially if the landscape is covered with snow and does not freeze. The silence and white color of the surroundings highlight the architecture of the building. Don't forget the warm gloves and the hat, because the water is cold.
