Both mills represent the latest phase in the development of the water machines of the end of the 19th century. Eventually, the watermill started to be used only in 1921. In 1926, milľs new owner Michal Fojtík added 13 sawmills. It is a horizontal building with a brick filling. The character of the watermill was considerably shaped by its former owner Ján Kubica, who, having travelled the world as a tinker, came across various kinds of progressive technical buildings of the time (esp. in German environment). The mills are powered by a 5-metre water wheel using the water from a nearby local brook.
