Habermann's Mill and Villa ({{langx|cs|Habermannův mlýn}}) is a pair of monuments in Bludov municipality in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It is formed by a watermill and an Art Nouveau villa. Together it forms a small hamlet named Habermannův mlýn.
Geography
The Morava River flows next to the hamlet. The watermill is powered by a branch of the Morava.{{Cite web|url=https://en.mapy.cz/?|title=Mapy.cz|website=Mapy.cz}}
History
The area was owned by the Sudeten German Habermann family. The Art Nouveau villa was built in 1920 as Hubert Habermann's residence. The adjoining buildings were used as a sawmill, watermill and cooperage. A small business producing wooden boxes was established in the mill too.{{cite web |title=Historie|url=https://habermannovavila.cz/cs/historie|website=habermannovavila.cz|language=cs|access-date=2021-01-25}}
The mill as well as the villa was confiscated by law enforcement in 1945. Habermann was arrested and murdered by a local barber.{{cite web|url=http://www.revuepolitika.cz/clanky/1362/habermannuv-lync-a-narodni-sebebicovani|title=Habermannův lynč a národní sebebičování|website=revuepolitika.cz}}
The villa was rebuilt and turned into public housing. A turbine was installed in the mill. Mill warehouses were used as a garage for a collective farm.
Economy
In the 1990s, the villa was rebuilt as a 4-star hotel and a restaurant, and is still used today. Part of the mill was rebuilt as subsidized housing.{{cite web |title=Habermannův mlýn a Habermannova vila v Bludově|url=https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/habermannuv-mlyn-a-habermannova-vila-v-bludove|publisher=CzechTourism|language=cs|access-date=2021-01-25}}
Two Francis turbines are installed in former mill. Turbines outputs are 41.44 kW and 25.90 kW. Two overshot water wheels are installed in former sawmill. Its output is 8.8 kW and 6.29 kW.{{cite web |url=http://mve.energetika.cz/uvod/vod-d16.txt |title=Data |website=mve.energetika.cz|access-date=2020-08-24}} Its water source is the Morava.
Transport
The I/44 road passes between the villa and the mill.
Art
The place is reflected in Josef Urban's Habermann's Mill book. A real story of Hubert Habermann's murder was imagined. The book was controversial because it blames the Pospíšil family who still live in Bludov.{{cn|date=January 2022}}
The Habermann film was made based on the events that took place here.
