The mill, known among locals as "Bukovec’s Mill," was owned by the Bukovec family. Its last owner was Ivan Bukovec, and it ceased operation in 1968. Today, only architectural remnants of the mill remain—supports for the water wheel. Due to a fortunate combination of circumstances and well-directed economic strategies, the milled grain was partially used to stock the shelves of a nearby family-owned store. Fortunately, a remarkable and majestic building owned by Đuro Bukovec, located nearby, has been preserved to this day.

This building once housed one of the first larger stores in Ivanec, owned by Đuro Bukovec. In 1922, the Herg family also operated their shop in the same building. Over time, the building hosted various businesses, including a bank, the “Bata” shoe store, and the “Metal” shop of the Ivanec magazine. Locals still refer to this structure as "Bukovec’s Building."

An old photograph of Bukovac's store from 1910 bears witness to a beautiful and imposing building that reveals a completely intact architectural ensemble and equally notable are our locals, along with the owner, proudly posing for the photographer.

This building undoubtedly holds countless fascinating and instructive true stories and events.

Historically, the structure possesses architectural significance, particularly due to the originality of its facade, which once featured decorative relief ornaments. "Bukovec’s Building" stands out as unique, having been constructed during the stylistic periods of Historicism and Art Nouveau. These periods sought to beautify industrial production by blending art and craftsmanship, as well as to adorn otherwise featureless building facades.

The ornamentation on "Bukovec’s Building" represented a distinctive element of the local, native continental flora, which in the 19th century was a popular architectural trend. (Motifs included corn stalks, sunflowers, plums, grapes, daisies, tulips, and more). Through the applied ornaments of specific products, particularly corn and sunflowers, the building evoked associations with the mill, flour production, and the making of black oil (pumpkin seed oil).
