Water played a signifi cant role in the life of our ancestors. Water was not only a basic condition for the existence of human beings; since time immemorial, it has been an essential helper for different activities. People succeeded in constructing the surprising mechanisms to use the water power as effectively as possible. In the exhibition area with water buildings you can see some examples of the technical water buildings you could meet in South-East Moravia in the past. They consist of a horizontal sawmill and a miller’s dwelling from Čerešníkovy Mlýny; the Podhájský mill with fulling mill will be constructed in near future. All those buildings used to stand at the Velička River near Strážnice, in the ethnographic area of Horňácko.
