Accommodation Mlyn bratov Pilárikových

The well-known town of trdelník and gingerbread biscuits, Skalica, is famous for the fact that many mills once stood on its territory. One of them is Mlyn bratov Pilárikových, which was originally a small water mill near the lower town gate. The original building was in a desolate state, and so the brothers decided to demolish it. In 1927, the new construction of a three-story electrically powered mill was approved.

This wonderfully preserved technical monument can be visited during the main season from May to September during opening hours; during the remaining months of the year, it is necessary to arrange a visit in advance. The exhibition will certainly be interesting for the whole family. Time stopped here in the interwar period of the Czechoslovak Republic. The industrial complex carries this unmistakable patina with it, and its components reveal a piece of our history.

For decades, the brothers milled flour from various cereals here, and even produced groats and baby semolina. In 1939, the power source of the mill was changed to gas, and its operation was not interrupted even by World War II, because flour for the entire army and state institutions was milled here. However, sadder moments also came when, in 1951, the mill had to be handed over as part of nationalization, and the Pilárik brothers lost all their property. A peculiarity was that, in addition to flour, the state enterprise also milled PVC plastic at the mill. In 1962, the mill building was definitively closed and its operation terminated. The brothers got their property back only after the revolution in 1989, when they regained the mill as part of restitution. A very nice gesture was made by the town of Skalica in 2004, when it bought the mill and preserved its glory in the form of a museum exhibition. A former enthusiastic employee of the mill also contributed to the authenticity of the monument and the premises.
