The foundations of the former Stein oil mill bear witness to the many mills that once stood on the Nister river. Flour was produced at the corn mills and the oil mills produced oil from rapeseed by the water power of the river. At many grain mills, also called ban mills, there was a so-called ban obligation. This meant that the farmers in the area were obliged to have their grain processed into flour in these mills.
