The most interesting place in the village is the mill farm, picturesquely situated on the Ciosenka River and the ponds created on it. Less than 200 meters north of the A-2 motorway.
The mill is still operating, and the complete equipment allows you to familiarize yourself with the process of obtaining flour from cereal grains. You can also buy flour here.
In the nineteenth century there was a wooden mill here, which survived until the beginning of the twentieth century and was replaced by a brick mill, which was still driven by a mill wheel. In 1936, the mill wheel was replaced by a water turbine, and in time World War II an electric drive from a combustion generator was used. Electricity was brought to the village and the mill in the late 1950s during the so-called village electrification action.
The oldest equipment of the mill is the two angular grinders from the time of the war. One of the original millstones is on display outside the mill.
The mill is open to the public upon agreement with the owner at Stanisław Kubiak Ciosny's agritourism farm "Ciosenka" 29.
