Kocilewo (ok. 1 km od dworu w Ozarowie), gm. Mokrsko, pow. wielunski, woj. lodzkie
A historic wooden post-type windmill standing in Kocilewo, belonging to the Museum of Manor Interiors in Ożarów (a branch of the Museum of the Wieluń Region). The windmill is located about 1 km from the Ożarów manor.
The windmill was built by the Kowalski family in 1914, on the site of an earlier windmill from the 19th century. After 1945 it was run by Henryk Kowalski - the last miller in Ożarów; in 1960 the authorities banned grain milling and the windmill served only as a storehouse. By 1996 it had fallen into ruin. The reconstruction was completed in 2006 - the roof was covered with shingles and the mill's interior was recreated with all its equipment.
The windmill is entered in the register of monuments (no. 337/A of the former Sieradz Voivodeship).
Kocilewo lies about 1 km from the manor in Ożarów near Wieluń; the site belongs to the Museum of Manor Interiors in Ożarów.
