Originally a glass grinding shop, of which there were many in this area. After the decline of glassmaking in the Bohemian Forest, the facility was converted into a sawmill. The building, originally constructed of half-timbered construction with brick corners, was later bricked up.
The mill was probably built around 1788 by František Koller along with the surrounding grinding and polishing workshop in the Radbuza Valley. František Václav Koller purchased it from Václav Koc of Dobrš in 1802. Grinder Adam Stamm worked in the grinding mill between 1822 and 1834. Subsequently, the sawmill had to be converted into a sawmill, as it is listed as a sawmill in the water register. The 1838 stable register records a burning building with a wheel, another small burning building to the north, and a connected pair of buildings a short distance to the east. The drive and drainage channel are also recorded.
The water register contains an entry dated October 8, 1875, which describes the building as follows: The sawmill is located on the left bank of the Huťský Stream. The upper water wheel, with a diameter of 5.057 m, is driven by water from the Huťský Stream, which is collected in a pond. The plank walls are 0.67 m wide and 0.71 m deep. According to the commission, the water level in the reservoirs may be 0.26 m, but can be raised to 0.56 m due to foreign interests. The 5.452 m wide pond overflow is 0.863 m below the pond surface.
After the First World War, the sawmill ceased to operate, and the building fell into disrepair.

June 29. In 1959, an order was issued to demolish three mills and houses in the meadows below Smolov, including this building.
A new pond was constructed on the site of the original pond by the company "Forests of the Czech Republic." Only very modest remains of the driveway are visible immediately above the remains of the building. Parts of the perimeter walls and part of the brick support column have been preserved from the L-shaped building's layout.
