The town of Kolárovo is situated 22 km from Nové Zámky, at the confluence of the River Váh and Malý Dunaj (Little Danube).
An initial mill was built –up around year 1920 and the owner was Mr.Szivanyó Béla. Water mill did exist untill the year 1945, when it burned down under mysterious circumstances. That downfall at all has been also the downfall of the last existing floating water mill on the all flow of the Danube.

Moreover of that reason arose an idea of reconstruction of the authentic Radvan´s water mill in 70th years of the 20th century. Basic document to making a project documentation were a contemporary photography which have been recorded and mainly the authentic model This idea was realized at the turn of the 70 th and 80 th years of the 20 th century in Slovak shipyard in Komárno.

The construction of water mill has been finished in year 1982. Technical perfection of that composition was obscured by unhatched and incomplete ideas of its usage untill end. Partial attempts for its usage failed immediately at the beginning, so the most often home of water mill were port waters of the Slovak shipyards.

Initiative for its saving started protectionists from Kolárovo who have arranged the transportation of water mill which has been moved by towing boat from Komárno to Kolárovo on the arm of the Small Danube. 25 th of May has become a property of local protectors and at the moment already as a National cultural monument, it is available for general public. It is a part of natural camp which has been constructing by Kolárovo´s protectors from year 1995.
