On the Krępiel River you can admire the remains of a watermill. The object already existed in the descriptions of the village in the 19th century. It is located on the Krąpiela canal. From the original two-building layout, only a single-storey building has survived (currently the engine room of the hydroelectric power plant, and also inhabited by private individuals). The adjoining building currently remains in a state of advanced disrepair. The preserved building has an asymmetric, cuboid body, closed from the front with a stepped gable. The mill is made of ceramic brick and has not been plastered. The façades are surrounded by a cordon cornice separating the storeys. The ground floor windows have a semi-circular closure with fixed, multi-divided glazing. The building is an example of typical nineteenth-century economic and industrial architecture.

The old mill is still in use. There is a hydroelectric power plant here.
