Zámecký kolový mlýn - Zámek 355

Nice place. Too bad in a state of emergency.

An old castle wheel mill stands in the chateau park, near a mill pond with an island and a wooden cabin. It is impossible to notice how this cultural monument gradually deteriorates. It is a pity that no one has yet been found willing to invest in this historic building before it falls. Information about history was drawn from a written source by PhDr. Miloš Říha, castellan of the castle Kynžvart, 2004 - The mill was built in the first half of the 18th century, as evidenced by the name of the Mlýnský pond as early as 1751. During later years, the half-timbered building with stone perimeter walls underwent several structural modifications. During the Classicist reconstruction of the Kynžvart Chateau between 1820 and 1839, the mill was functionally integrated into a complex of attractive romantic buildings in Chancellor Metternich's park. In the first half of the 20th century, the tenant established a pub here, and was mainly known as the men's residents of Kynžvart until 1945. After the confiscation of Paul Alfons's property by Prince von Metternich-Winneburg, the chateau mill was also declared a state cultural property in 1946. The unused building fell into disrepair and was leased to Junák from Kynšperk nad Ohří in 1967. At the beginning of December 1974, after sudden warming and rain, streams flooded and on the night of December 8th, the dam of the pond broke out, which had virtually no safety spillway. Unfortunately, in the course of the new reconstruction of the dam in the years 1978-1980 the mill race was canceled and the mill mills were destroyed. The chateau mill then ceased to be fully used. All window and door panels have disappeared from the building.
