Quick Glimpse of history
The Cséfalvay water mill with bottom drive, a state protected technical sight, was built on the beginning of the 1920’s and the last year it operated was 1942. For a brief period following the Second World War there was done some milling for farm cooperation but after this its operations ceased. In 1986, the state bought the mill from the Michal Cséfalvay family and a necessary renovation was initiated. Since 1987, there is a miller’s trade exhibition where original equipment, belonging to the Zitnoosotrovske Museum in Dunajska Streda, is displayed. The mill’s compound is surrounded by a fence. Like every other mill, the most characteristic feature is a gigantic mill wheel and it has 6 meters in diameter. According to the present administrator, the mill would operate but low water level forbids it. Unlike other Danubian mills, only a wheel and driving mechanism of the Csefalvay water mill are situated in wooden construction. The mill itself is made of stone. Technical facilities of the mill consist of three systems – driving, gear and milling. I am not particularly a technician so I won’t describe it to you in detail, but you can trust me that even complete amateur will understand technical lecture without any problem. I recommend you visit of the Csefalvay water mill with bottom drive. If you go there, go and visit surroundings. Beautiful nature and history will be like a cure for your soul.
