The Old Mill in Kołacin, also known as the Praga Mill, is a historic building from the 1920s, located on the Mroga River in the Łódź province. In the past, it used the power of the Mroga River, and the water accumulation created a pond that powered the mill wheels. The mill is part of the "Respite Trail", which includes the most attractive natural sites in the Łódź region. For road cyclists, there are asphalt routes in the area, but some sections may lead through roads with a poorer surface, so it is recommended to plan your route in advance. The mill is located about 250 meters from the main road, turning right by the primary school in Kołacin.

The "Praga" Mill - a wooden water mill on the Mroga River built in the 1920s or earlier, located in the former mill settlement of Praga, currently on the border of the villages of Kołacin and Kobylin, in Brzeziny County, Łódź Province. The facility is entered in the municipal register of monuments of the Rogów commune. Water mills on the Mroga River in this location were mentioned in sources from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The memory of the mill existing in the 19th century has been preserved: it was a wooden, single-storey building located partly on stilts above the water and partly on solid land, equipped with a water wheel. This mill served as a manor mill. It was dismantled at the end of the 19th century.

Wooden water mill on the Mrożyca River located in Dąbrówka Mała in the Łódź province, built in 1948. In the 19th century, there was a fulling mill here and a neighboring mill powered by a water wheel.

The current mill was built in 1948 on the site of the former mill. The mill represents a post and beam construction. It is single-storey with a superstructure, boarded with planks. It has a gable roof covered with roofing felt. It was initially powered by a water turbine, and then (from 1957) by an electric motor. It was still in operation in the 1970s.

Narrow Gauge Railway Rogów – Rawa – Biała (colloquial: Kolej Rogowska) – the first and only museum narrow gauge railway in the Łódź province. Previous names were Rogow Feldbahn, Rogowska Kolej Dojazdowa and Rogowska Kolej Wąskotorowa. The name currently used also functioned in the interwar period. Its beginnings date back to 1915 when German troops built a military field railway with a 600 mm gauge connecting Rogów with Biała Rawska. The narrow gauge railway was used to supply the German front with food, weapons and ammunition. It was used to transport soldiers and evacuate the wounded. Construction of the Rogów – Rawa – Biała Narrow Gauge Railway began on February 28, 1915. Construction was carried out by the 22nd Reserve Eisenbahn Kompanie and three other German railway companies. The railway was built to supply the eastern front near the Rawka and Pilica rivers. The line ran from the standard gauge railway station in Rogów to Biała Rawska via Głuchów and Rawa Mazowiecka. After the end of World War I, the Rogów–Rawa–Biała Narrow Gauge Railway was taken over by PKP. In 1954, it was re-gauged to a 750 mm gauge. In 1996, it was entered into the register of historical monuments. In 2001, PKP decided to liquidate it. It was saved from destruction by the Foundation of Polish Narrow Gauge Railways (FPKW), which restored it to a state of technical efficiency. The Rogów Towarowy Narrow Gauge Station houses the second largest collection of historic narrow gauge rolling stock in Poland. The entire railway is maintained thanks to the work of volunteers, who can be joined by any railway enthusiast.

Mill in Kołacin – a wooden water-electric mill on the Mroga River built at the end of the 19th century. Water mills in this location were mentioned in documents from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. The memory of a mill that existed in the 19th century has been preserved: a wooden, single-storey building on a rectangular plan, situated partly on water piles and partly on solid land, with a hipped roof covered with thatch. This building was demolished due to old age at the end of the 19th century. In the place of the demolished mill, the current mill was built at the end of the 19th century, which underwent several reconstructions, including being significantly raised. Currently, it is a wooden building of post and beam construction, boarded with planks, with a gable roof and an adjacent single-storey extension. Initially, it was powered by a water wheel and equipped with 2 pairs of French stones, a żubrownik, perlak and jagielnik. Before World War I, a water turbine was installed in the mill. The stones were replaced with rollers and the millet mill and the perlak were eliminated. During World War II, the mill was in operation. During the Polish People's Republic, it was privately owned. It was used as a grain mill, and then (from 1965) as a wood flour factory. In 2024, it is in operation as a grain mill.
