Podsemínský mlýn

Beautiful place for a walk and a bike ride

Beautiful surroundings to see

One of the former mills in Žehrovka stands on the shore of Podsemínský rybník, one of a number of Podtrosecké ponds. It is worth noting the hives in the garden and a log house. Beautiful place, the pond is from the 16th century.

The first mention of the Podsemín mill comes from the first half of the 16th century. Over the course of three centuries, several owners changed here, until in 1821 it was bought by the miller Franz Skála. After disagreements with the Turnov farmer Dlask (you also immediately remembered Dlask's farm in Dolánky?), He sold the Dolánecký mill on the Vazovecký brook and bought the Podsemínský mill. The Skály family operated the miller's craft at Podsemínský mlýn for five generations until it was officially closed in 1951. The mill was rebuilt in its current form in 1937, and ten years later the miller Jaroslav Skála had the Francis turbine installed. At present, Podsemínský mlýn is the property of the descendants of the last miller Jaroslav Skála. All equipment is preserved in it, unfortunately the whole building is inaccessible to the public.
