Koltay’s Mill

Koltay´s Mill, which today is considered an industrial monument, was actually just a house at one time. It was the home of József Koltay and his family who operated a convenience store. Later, in 1937, the Koltay family built a generator for the building which produced electricity with the help of the Rátkalaki creek next to it. The turbine housing was built with the purpose of producing electricity for the sewing machines in the family-owned knitting factory. At that time, the Koltay family used to provide the nearby houses with electricity every evening between seven and nine pm. This was the practice up until 1956 when the village was connected to the electricity network.
