Kampa Island

In the Middle Ages, you would not have a single home on the island. Women washed their clothing and bleached fine linen, here. Gardens grew in profusion. Mills used water to power their wheels. In the 17th century, pottery markets sprung up on the island. The houses on the main square date from this period. Wander the quiet streets. Sit in a café, a pub or a park. Follow along Hroznová Lane to the bridge. Here you can see the remains of one of the mighty water wheels. You can also visit Grand Prior’s Mill. There you can see a restored millwheel.
