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.

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.
