Unique - the original preserved and functional flour mill! In 1931, Jakob Florineth, a journeyman miller and millwright, acquired the mill west of Ftan, which dates back to the end of the 17th century. In the following years, he erected a second mill in the same building, adapted to technical progress. Thus, eight mills were rattling and clattering in Ftan alone at that time, because the cultivation of grain ensured the self-sufficiency of the population.
The following generations of Florineth processed grain harvests from the Lower Engadine until 1998. Today, this heritage, shaped by generations, is a last witness of the former grain culture in Ftan. Thanks to the Swiss Heritage Society, the mill was saved from ruin in 1972 with the support of a nationwide collection campaign. In 2015, the "Fundaziun Muglin da Ftan" foundation was established to ensure that the culturally and historically important mill is preserved and remains open to the public.
