Trojský Mlýn

The Trojský Mlýn is a historic water mill complex in Prague's Troja district, now protected as a national cultural monument. It stands on the right bank of the Vltava, southwest of Troja Château, and directly borders the southern section of the Prague Zoo. The first written record of it dates to 1433. Over the centuries, the property changed hands several times, with prominent owners including Albrecht von Wallenstein. Originally, the complex consisted of a mill and a residence under one roof, which were spatially separate. After being devastated in the 18th century, the site later received a massive, multistory barn built of brick, rubble stone, and sandstone blocks. A sprawling vaulted storehouse has survived from the old mill. You can admire the barn's imposing architecture, while the zoo now uses the former watercourse to feed the water areas for its birds.
