Additional description
To be honest, we do not even know if it's a mill or not. The remains of the tailpole, the four-footed base and a distinctive cap support the version that this is a historical mill. However, what kind of windmill it is, when it was built, whether it has been transported or has always been here, we do not know.

At the moment inside the mill there is a cafe «Melnitsa» (Mill), perfectly visible to the right of the road on the way from Saransk to Chamzinka.
