位于埃申（Eschen）市镇的磨坊是该地区最具历史价值和文化意义的建筑之一。其历史可追溯至1778年，最初作为压榨葡萄的酒坊使用。20世纪初，由于葡萄病害以及外国葡萄酒进口，当地葡萄种植逐渐式微。1912年，一个磨坊合作社购得该建筑，并将其改建为电力驱动的磨坊。
The mill of the municipality Eschen is one of the most interesting and historically valuable buildings in Eschen. It dates back to 1778 and originally served as a wine press. At the beginning of the 20th century, when local viticulture lost its importance due to diseases on the vines and the import of foreign wines, a millers' cooperative bought the building and converted it into an electrically operated mill in 1912.
在第二次世界大战期间，磨坊的产量达到高峰，年产超过400吨，主要加工玉米、小麦、黑麦和燕麦/大麦。1980年，埃申市镇购入该磨坊并进行了全面修缮。如今，这座磨坊被列为受保护的历史建筑，同时仍在运行中。“磨石”图案邮票(面值1.90瑞士法郎)，正是对这座磨坊历史意义的纪念。
During the Second World War, production peaked at over 400 tons. Corn, wheat, rye and oats/barley were ground. In 1980, the municipality of Eschen acquired the mill and extensively renovated it. Today the mill is a listed building. The mill is still in operation. The “Millstone” motif (face value CHF 1.90) is a reminder of the historical significance of the mill.
