Comments

"Ksiezy Mlyn (The Priest's Mill) is a historic enclave with a monumental past dating back to the Middle Ages. The water mill and its settlement were built on the banks of the Jasien River, on land donated to the parish priest of Lodz by the bishop of Wtoctawek in the late 14th century. It was one of the first economic facilities to be commissioned on the territory of present-day Lodz. It remained in operation until 1822, when it was destroyed by fire.
In the 1820s, the authorities of the Kingdom of Poland decided to convert all estates with mills into water-powered industrial plants. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

« Ksiezy Mlyn » (le Moulin du curé) est une enclave historique et monumentale dont le passé remonte au Moyen Age. Ce moulin à eau et sa bourgade ont été construits au bord de la rivière Jasien sur des terrains donnés au curé de Lodz par l’évêque de Wtoctawek fin du XIVe siècle. Il a été l’une des premières installations économiques mises en service sur le territoire actuel de Lodz. Il fonctionna jusqu’en 1822, date à laquelle il fut détruit par un incendie.
Dans les années 1820, les autorités du Royaume de Pologne décidèrent de transformer toutes les propriétés avec moulin en installations industrielles mues par l’énergie hydraulique.
