The former liege mill is one of the oldest buildings in Český Krumlov. Its origins date back to 1347 when it was mentioned in the writings of Peter I of Rožmberk. The parcel no. 80 has been explicitly listed within the built-up area since 1514.

 

In 1596 Petr Vok of Rožmberk gave up his servile wages for the benefit of the town; thus the mill became a municipal property. Major reconstructions followed in 1608 – 1611. The name of the first city miller was Mates Schemerle; Antonín Postel took over as the first emphyteutic owner (i.e. an owner sharing a property with authorities and the landlord) in 1782.

 

It was then that today's house no. 80 was separated from a house no. 82 and other buildings located on the Krumlov “island”. Back then, the weir next to the mill was part of its property.

 

The mill became a private property in 1850.
