The three-story building of the water mill in Pavoloch is located near the dam on the Rostavytsia River. The mill was built in the 19th century, when a large Jewish community lived in the village.

The water mill in Strokiv was probably built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the village was owned by landowner Andriy Bubnov.

At that time, the village grew rapidly, overgrown with industrial facilities, such as a distillery and starch factories, a forge and, in fact, the mill itself, which was managed by industrialist Odinskyi.

A brick water mill on the Unava River in the village of Kvitneve, 5 kilometers from Popilnia, was built in 1905 on the site of an old wooden one.

A brick water mill was built on the Irpin River in Kornyn in 1892. Located on the central street of the village. Today the mill is in operation.

The water mill on the Unava River in the village of Kvitneve in Zhytomyr region was built in 1905. There is no reliable information about its first owner. According to various sources, it could be Prince Horchakov or the family of Countess Kudasheva. In Soviet times, the mill was converted into a hydroelectric power station. The building stood empty for a long time.

In 2017, the old mill got a new life thanks to the local agrarian entrepreneur and philanthropist Volodymyr Didkivskyi, who turned the building into a restaurant. From the outside, the building has retained its authentic appearance, and inside there is a banquet hall. There is a landscape park on the territory.

The Zhytomyr Regional Literary Museum is located in an ancient two-story building in the Art Nouveau style, built at the beginning of the 20th century.
