Watermill on Urzędowianka in Bęczyn (Urzetów commune)
A place like from a movie
"In Bęczyn, in 1912, Paweł Chęciński built a watermill. In 1922, the mill was taken over by Zygmunt Chęciński, Paweł's son, who in 1925 installed a turbine instead of the inefficient water wheel. In order to increase the processing power, in 1943 electricity was brought from Urzędów and an electric motor was used. The mill was well equipped, it had: a whole wheat flour mill, two pairs of rollers, a żuber, a perlak, a millet mill and a groats mill for making buckwheat. There was a flat for the miller next to the mill. The millers included Ignacy Krzykacz, Jan Płachta, Pikuła.
In 1956, the mill was nationalized and transferred to the District Enterprise of Economic Mills in Kraśnik, which transferred it to the Commune National Council in Urzędów. The operation of the mill for the GRN was troublesome, so the mill was transferred to the Commune Cooperative of the Peasant Self-Help Union in Urzędów.

When the demand for milling services decreased and the operation of the mill was unprofitable, GS leased the facility to Aleksander Kaspruś from Dzierzkowice, who after a few years of use gave up running the business due to the low demand for services. Over the last 50 years, the millers were employees of the commune and then GS, at various times the following worked in the mill: Łukasz Pac, Tadeusz Tarkowski, Ludwik Matysiak, Stanisław Matysiak, Jacek Jurak, Aleksander Kaspruś. Currently, the owner of the inactive mill is the Commune Office in Urzędów, the facility is cared for by the family of the former owner.”
