Pozapomenutá a opomíjená památka, která je však unikátem na území Prahy. Na rozdíl od mnoha mlýnů vodních (nejen na Vltavě, ale i na přilehlých potocích) byly ty větrné spíše ojedinělé. Přitom podle toho zdejšího byla pojmenována nejen tramvajová zastávka, ale i přilehlý komplex studentských kolejí. Už v roce 1277 dal údajně opat břevnovského kláštera Godefrid postavit dřevěný mlýn, ve kterém se s přestávkami mlelo do roku 1722. Válcová věž kamenného mlýna s otočnou střechou (tzv. mlýn holadského typu) měla vzniknout toho roku při barokní výstavbě břevnovského kláštera - tehdy se objekt nacházel v hospodářském dvoře náležícím ke klášteru. Jako autor bývá někdy uváděn Kryštof Dientzenhofer, ale archivní doklady chybí. Nový mlýn fungoval až do roku 1794, pak byl zakoupen mlynářem Jakubem Kohoutkem. V roce 1900 nefunkční objekt zakoupil pražský restauratér Jan Josef Černohorský, který patrně v roce 1912 přistavěl podélnou budovu v eklektickém stylu. Po roce 1990 byla stavba opravena a je v ní umístěna restaurace a penzion. A forgotten and neglected monument, which is quite unique in Prague. Unlike many water mills (not only on the Vltava, but also on adjacent streams), the windmills were rather unique. At the same time, not only the tram stop but also the adjacent complex of student dormitories was named after the local one. Already in 1277, the abbot of the Břevnov monastery Godefrid allegedly had a wooden mill built, which was working with breaks until 1722. The cylindrical tower of a stone mill with a revolving roof (the so-called Dutch type mill) was to be built that year. The building was located in a farmyard belonging to the Břevnov monastery. Kryštof Dientzenhofer is sometimes mentioned as the author, but archival documents are missing. The new mill operated until 1794, when it was purchased by miller Jakub Kohoutek. In 1900, the non-functional building was bought again by the Prague restaurateur Jan Josef Černohorský, who probably added a longitudinal building in an eclectic style in 1912. After 1990, the building was repaired and houses a restaurant and guest house.
