The water mill in Slup is a national technical monument and a branch of the Technical Museum in Brno. It is a Renaissance mill with four drive wheels. Inside, an exhibition devoted to the development of milling techniques from the Middle Ages to modern times is presented.
The first mention of the mill in this place dates back to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. However, no elements have survived to this day. The currently standing building dates from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a large, rectangular building covered with a mansard roof. In subsequent years, along with the development of technology, its equipment was replaced, but it served the inhabitants of the area until the 20th century.
An integral part of the mill is also about a 30-kilometer channel that supplies water needed to drive the mill wheels. It began to be built at the end of the Middle Ages, and the current devices come from the nineteenth century. In 2009, an exhibition was launched in the mill that shows how the equipment used in milling and the tools used by millers changed. Most of the presented machines are still working. This exhibition received the Gloria Musealis award.
