EN: The old mill in the center of Niederlenz was first mentioned in 1234. The current building dates back to the year 1575. The mill was in operation until the end of the 19th century. Today, it contains the town hall, the post office and a pizzeria.

The stone slab at the right edge of the main facade bears a coat of arms with a mill wheel and the inscription: "Dis hus sat in Gotes gwalt das was gebawen der Mitkerenc Batzen galt. An(no) Do(mini) 1575 VGIG". I have no idea what that means.
