Windmill in Bravinné near Bílovec

An example of how our ancestors were able to use natural resources is the original windmill in Bravinné near Bílovec.

It is the last surviving mill of the so-called German type in this area and it is a testament to the technical prowess of the people of the Moravské Kravařsko region and this part of Silesia.

The origin of the mill is unclear. One of the versions says that the mill was transported from nearby Leskovec in 1910, while the other version says that the mill stood in Bravinné as early as 1830. It is not easy to trace the exact fact because there were many similar windmills in this flat area and the records of them are intertwined.

The windmill is part of the Technotrail, and a tour is possible by appointment.
