Abstract: Mills were propelled by various types of power, however, the most widespread and most famous was water in our climatic conditions. An old Czech mill, as a perfect technical pre-industrial device was able to utilize the power of small water courses as well as large rivers and could even be operated seasonally with water which literally came down from the sky. The paper analyses relations between types of water courses, types of water wheels and their grinding capacity on the territory of four Rožmberk dominions during the early modern era. |
