Bušek's Iron-Mill - Trhové Sviny, Czech Republic - Blacksmith Shops on Waymarking.com

Bušek's Iron-Mill lies about 1 km south-west of the town Trhové Sviny on the Svinenský Potok (Sviny Brook).
The iron-mill was founded in 1870 in the surroundings of the bone-millhouse which made potash from bones for glassmakers and soapmakers. At the turn of the 19th century, the agricultural and industrial implements and the tent poles for circuses marques were made here. Originally the products were made from the ductile pig iron, then crap from railroads was used. The iron-mill ran till 1950. Between 1990 - 1995 it was reconstructed.

The iron-mill is the full functional technical site. The system is propelled by three water wheels which move the hammer, grinder and blowpipe. The original blacksmith's kit and the folk furniture with folk art from the turn of the 19th century can be seen in the exhibition.
