Such mills did not have carved ornaments or porches. The master who built a windmill is Czech Ivan Klichnik. It belongs to the pillar mills. The walls are vertical, frame structure, lined with boards to the very bottom. From the four corners, the windmill rests on the pads.
The whole carcass of the windmill together with the mechanism for grinding, wings and shaft rotates depending on the wind. In the centre of the fixed crosspiece, a pillar is fixed, the so-called shtyber. This is the backbone of the windmill. The whole system revolves around it.
