Welcome to this historical monument standing on the edge of Plavecký Peter. You are standing in front of a former water mill, which today bears the name Mill electric. Just in front of you, it is a simple but substantial structure that is forming into the country as a proof of the past that has flowed through the streams.

Let's move a few steps to history. It is not known when this mill was built. Like his creators who left their message here. Mills like this have, however, been a frequent rural element in our countries since the Middle Ages, when water energy was used to wash grains, grind grain, or power other craftsmen. This particular mill, which you see today, is one of the so-called electric mills - buildings that were built at the time when electric lighting and power began to spread. Although the exact date of its origin is not known, it is clear that it was part of this revolution that changed the way of life in the countryside.

Nine look at his architecture. Before you is a simple but functional building, which consists of the main building and probably several pendants. Note its simple lines that form into the environment. The windmill is typical for rural architecture - simple, without excessive decoration, but with a stronghold that proves that it was built for many years. Note how the building is built into the field, how it connects to the natural environment. Some details, such as windows or entrances, may already be somewhat abandoned, but this contributes to the authentic feeling that you are here in the time that has stopped.

It is not known who worked here and how it lived here. Mills like this, however, were often community centres. Here grain milling became more than just a working process - a social gathering where people met, exchanged news, and helped each other. The millers were popular characters because their work was inconsolable for the whole village. Although there is nothing known about the specific personalities associated with this mill, we can imagine how everyday life sounded here - how it worked here, how it lived here, and how relationships were created.

One of the interesting things to find here is the fact that this mill is one of the so-called electric mills. This means that it was built at the time when electric lighting and power began to spread. Although the exact date is not known, we can assume that it was built in the first half of the 20th century when electrification became mass. This means that there could be elements of electric lighting or power that were innovation at the time. Although they are not visible, it is interesting to imagine how the way of work and life changed here when electricity became part of everyday life.

Let's go see the neighborhood now. The electric mill is located in a picturesque country typical for Trnava region.
