The Lower Steiner Mühle at the foot of the town of Blankenberg was one of the two ban mills in the castle town, which means that the residents in the rulership of the sovereigns, to whom the town of Blankenberg belonged, were forced to have their grain milled here.

There was a lower and an upper stone mill. Since a first documentary mention does not allow any conclusion as to which of the two mills could be meant in the document from 1442, it is only clear that at that time one of the two Steiner mills existed and the other had not yet been built. In 1643 both mills are mentioned.
The lower mill remained in operation as a flour mill until 1954 and was then saved from deterioration in the 1960s and converted into a residential building. In 1997 the facility was placed under monument protection. At that time, the mill owner was the grandson of the last miller who worked there. He decided to have the mill renovated in accordance with the requirements of the monument protection, and so the interior and exterior areas were repaired again.
Today there is a restaurant in the old walls.
