Fedák Mill Guesthouse, Drienovec
Fedák Mill in the village of Drienovec is a unique place that brings together industrial heritage, modern comfort and tourism. The original watermill has been fully renovated, retaining its authentic historic character, and now provides an elegant setting for social events, relaxation and accommodation.
The mill is named after the Fedák family of millers, who owned and operated it from 1938. It was nationalised after the Second World War, but has now been given a new lease of life through a sensitive restoration that respects its historical and technical significance.
The building retains historic watermill machinery, including a Francis turbine powered by water from the Miglinc stream. This fascinating piece of engineering shows visitors how water power was traditionally harnessed and makes the mill an important industrial heritage site in the region.
Today, Fedák Mill offers spaces for weddings, family celebrations, conferences, workshops and other social events. Its historic atmosphere and modern facilities create a unique experience for visitors seeking peace, relaxation and an authentic rural setting.
Visitors can also try their hand at baking traditional Drienovec pretzels, an activity that revives a forgotten local craft and introduces them to the region’s cultural heritage. Traditional baking thus becomes a unique experience that brings together the mill’s history and local traditions, allowing visitors to discover them first-hand.
The site also helps preserve the region’s cultural and industrial heritage and demonstrates how a historic building can be successfully restored and given a new role in tourism and community life.
