• Slovak Name: Stredný Mlýn, Starý Mlýn
• Foundation: 1863
• Demolition: 23. August 1976
• Location: Southern extension of the City Park

During the time when the river was still flowing through the centre of Košice, several mills were located by its water. One of them was the Central Mill, located in what is nowadays the southern extension of the city park.

In the year 1862 the newly-founded company Košice Artificial Mill purchased the Central Mill from the city and built two multi-storey buildings in its proximity. The mill expanded over time. During a reconstruction in the year 1900 the nearby bathhouse was torn down.

In 1945, the Central Mill was nationalised and in 1948 the East Slovak Mills Company began to operate it.

On 23rd of August 1976 the mill was hit by a devastating fire which, according to eyewitnesses, was glowing for several weeks. The conflagration left only ruins behind.

Today, a small hill is the sole remainder of the Central Mill.
