Windmill, Dusnok

Oral tradition says that the mill stood originally in the Miskei-Puszta, until Pál Facskó bought it and built it up in Dusnok. The inscription incised in the big cogged wheel informs us about the most important data: 1888 május 6 a Holkovics János csinálta Facskó Pál (6 May 1888, Holkovics János made it - translation). The support beam of the shaft of the same wheel, however, displays the year 1885, which means either that the mill had been built during a longer period or that the parts came from several places. After the death of Pál Facskó the mill passed into the hands of Imre Bogárdi and Mátyás Ambrus. They sold it to János Koprivánacz in 1926. He tried his luck in America at the beginning of the 20th century and when he resettled, he bought the mill with the money saved in America. He hoped for making a good living with the mill. At the beginning the mill yielded a profit, but was soon left behind because it could not compete with mills with modern technology. After the death of János Koprivánacz, his brother Peter inherited the mill. The communists prohibited the operation in the mill in 1950 and after this year, milling took place illegally and later the mill was used as dwelling house.
Depending on the wind, the mill ground 12-8 metric centners of wheat a day. The sail turned 10-3 times in a minute and the grinding stone turned 8,8 times with each rotation of the sail. With strong wind, both pairs of millstones could work.
In the ground-floor, a small millers' quarters was partitioned off, squeezed in-between the mechanics of the mill. The ground-plan shows a room and a kitchen, but a tiny pantry with shelves was squeezed in too in the kitchen. A miller's quarters built inside the mill is a rarity, although, there was another mill in Dusnok with such an arrangement.

Bonjour George
Un bon cliché de ce joli moulin qui déploie ses ailes sur un beau ciel tout bleu. Il est bien cadré avec le regard qui suit le chemin et toutes les maisons qui font des taches de couleur dans la montagne.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Good morning George!
Here I like especially the POV which makes the village a coulisse for the windmill - and I like the natural colours in the scenery. According to yout note this must be an interesting place.
Greetings from the spa Bad Meinberg!

Szia Gyuri!
Jaj, de szeretem ezt a szélmalmot. 1x le is rajzoltam:)
Gyönyörű kép!!
Gratulálok a Skanzeni sorozatodhoz!
Nagyon jó ötlet így bemutatni kicsi hazánk népi építészetét!
Elég sok képem van nekem is onnan, csakhát be kéne scannelni..
Legyen szép napod!

Hello George,
One has the practice of the Dutch mills and less that of the Hungarian mills, and yet, they must be numerous too. This one is impressive by contrast between its very broad base and its reduced roof. It resembles a large mushroom, a big boletus. Beautiful work.
Have anice day
Cordially

Hi George,
Perfect composition, great inclusion of the path as a good lead-in and the mill is well placed on the right hand side. The view on the town against the hill in the background is really nice too and is enhanced by a pleasant sunlight. Very good photo work, thanks for sharing!

Szia George,
a non-dutch one, that is great, even I like those wonderful mills from there. The light is very well taken and the view to the village with the mill at the side lovely. Thanks for the wonderful note including historical and technical information about the mill, interesting history.
The workshop one would be worth an own posting I think.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi George!
The Netherlands with so many windmills would be proud to have such a "huge" mountan....
A well composed image taken from a good POV.The sandroad leading the eyes to the farm gives a good depth to the image.

Hi George,
A very well composed countryside image featuring the infamous windmill. The earth tones and subdued colors are perfect here and the carefully cropped image is excellent. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Hello George,
This is a well balanced composition, where the windmill and the farm make great forground interest on background with the village in the hill!
The good looking windmill is of course the eye-catcher, and is captured with fine details...
I notice the fine light, and the gravel road makes a nice lead-in!
