History
The last surviving working windmill on the Croatian bank of the Mura, restored in 2015 and turning again on breezy days. It was one of dozens that once ground flour along this stretch of the river — an ethno-park around the mill explains raftsmen, millers and the vanished Mura island economy.
“River mills were preferred because they could be moved to follow the current as the Mura's channel shifted.”
