The mill is dated to 1853. Originally it stood on the River Żarnówka. According to family tradition, it was built by Antoni Miernik. The mill is a wooden corner-notched log building, on a rectangular plan with the following dimensions: 6.90 m x 7.12 m. An annex built from stone with lime mortar was constructed next to the main building. The mill from Parszów has an underpinning and the walls were built from beams with quoins joined using one-sided lap joints with protruding ends.

The entrance to the mill and the stone annex is guarded by two plank doors fitted on wrought iron hinges. The main building has a wooden floor from beams laid on joists, and the annex – beaten ground.

The mill’s operation was ensured by two overshot wooden wheels, from which water was flowed through a channel built from pebbles and hewn stones. The mill mechanism consisted of the main driving roller, transmission wheels and a vertical shaft moving the mill stones in the grain grinding mechanism. The mechanisms rested on stone foundations. The water outlet was constructed using wooden beams and planks, whilst the levers from hewn wooden rods.
