The walled windmill of slightly conical shape in fields northeast of the village was built in 1870, and milling for the last time in 1923. In 1878, a building was added, with stamps powered by transmission shaft from the mill. The stamps were used for crushing animal bones to manure surrounding fields. Ruins of the mill were restored in the late 20th century and adapted to private recreation grounds (at the same time, decorative blades were installed).
=========================================================
Vetrný mlýn holandského typu nechal na svém pozemku postavit roku 1870 pan Marecek z pískovcových bloku mistrem Medonosem ze Mšena. Vedle kuželové, trojpodlažní stavby mlýna postavil v roce 1878 budovu, kde instaloval stoupy na drcení kostí, pohánené prevodovým hrídelem z mlýna. Drt z kostí používal na hnojení polí. Mlýn prestal fungovat v roce 1923. Fotografie z roku 1971 ukazuje již jen hrubou stavbu bez strechy a oken. V soucasné dobe je stavba nove rekonstruována na výletní vilu. Vzhledem k tomu, že mohutná stavba stojí na samote, pusobí výrazne dominantním dojmem
