Water Mill

Architecture

The old water mill on the rapids of the Pivdennyi Buh river is located between the villages of Sokilets and Pechera.

The elegant four-story industrial building was built by German craftsmen according to the project of the architect Yan Hoyrikh at the end of the 19th century, when Count Kostyantyn Potoski owned these lands. The walls are made of crushed stone and red brick, the metal decor and some of the old equipment have been preserved. There is a stone warehouse building nearby, and on the opposite bank of the canal - a granary.

In 1951, the Sokilets mill was rebuilt as a hydroelectric power station and an oil factory. The power plant burned down in 1992.

Currently, there is a project to restore the hydroelectric plant, as well as an alternative project to create a hotel-tourist and recreation complex.

In 2007-2010, the Potoski mill served as a venue for the ethno-rock festival "Mlynomaniya", which is now held on the opposite bank of the river.
