Watermill DUNAJSKÝ KLÁTOV

The water mill in Dunajská Klátov - it is the only cultural and technical monument in the Dunajská Streda district - is the last example of water mills that worked on Žitný ostrov. This mill has several specific properties. The first is that it is not located directly on the flow of the Little Danube, but on its arm - Klátovsky. Unlike the others, only the wheel and the drive part are located in a wooden outbuilding, the mill itself is brick. The mill was built in 1920 by Ján Csefalvay and was in operation until 1942. During the II. World War II was badly damaged and after the war it was used only until 1950, when it became its last owner Michal Csefalvay. It was renovated in 1987 and its current operator is a museum. The surroundings of the mill, Klátovské rameno is declared a state nature reserve. The mill building has three floors, it is fenced and a characteristic feature is a huge mill wheel (with a span of six meters). In the mill building there is a permanent exposition of the water mill with the original preserved equipment.
