Stara elektrownia w Jurgowie.
Actually, the power plant, like most of the water-powered devices (apart from sawmill ), is gone. The power plant that burnt down in the 1980s, only the remains of the concrete foundations and the water turbine installed in them remain.
Water mills in Jurgów.
In the old days, Jurgów due to its convenient location near the BiaÅ‚ka River and a special channel called "Przykopa" had several mills. Unfortunately, not a single one has survived in its entirety to this day. At the end of March 2005 I went to see the condition of what was left of the mill. The pictures show what I found in the place where the mill operated. ››
