There is quite a bit of information on this historial mill The load-bearing walls of the 3-story production building, partly with a basement, were made of prefabricated concrete blocks. In 1928, the mill owner imported a gas engine produced at the Winterthur Swiss Locomotive and Machine Factory. The mill was equipped with three mills from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which are now very rare in Poland and are historic flour production devices.
