Sights

Kuželov is known for a windmill, protected as a national cultural monument. It dates from 1842 and is a rare example of preserved Holland-type windmill. It served farmers for over a hundred years, but its operations ceased in 1946. In 1973, it was transferred to the administration of the Technical Museum in Brno, which carried out its reconstruction and renovation. After the reconstruction, the mill is functional again as a museum exhibit and its interior houses an exposition about milling and life in the Horňácko region.^[5]

The main landmark of the centre of Kuželov is the Church of the Holy Trinity. It was originally a chapel, built in the Baroque style in 1718. The tower was added in 1770 and the chapel was converted into a church.^[6]
