Water mill near Dunajský Klátov in the lowland Podunajská nížina in the south-western Slovakia is one of few preserved water mills in Slovakia with the bottom mill race. The lowland Podunajská nížina was ideal for the operation of water mills because of its comparatively bulky streams with adequate inclination and numerous arms. The mill acquired its present appearance in the 1920 reconstruction. The mill is able to operate but the low water table in the arm does not allow it. In difference from other mills on the Danube it has a bricked grinding plant while the wheel and the drive are in a wooden shelter.
