Esterhazy Flour Mill, Historic flour mill in Esterhazy, Canada

The Esterhazy Flour Mill is a wooden grain processing building that combines milling equipment with an integrated elevator system. The structure displays traditional joinery methods and retains its original mechanical components from when it first operated.

James Saunders built this mill between 1904 and 1907 using a Hungarian patent design. It became one of Saskatchewan's key grain facilities and was eventually recognized as a heritage site.

The mill's name comes from the town of Esterhazy, and it was run for decades by milling families: Frank Size bought it in 1911, and Rudolph Junek, who took over in 1939, advertised that farmers could bring wheat for their own use without it being entered in the permit book. The Town of Esterhazy owns it today and the Friends of the Flour Mill run it.

The building is open to visitors by appointment, with tours typically available during warmer months. It is advisable to contact the local information center or town office before visiting to confirm access and arrange a time.

It is the only complete grain mill with an integrated elevator system still standing in Saskatchewan. Few buildings of this type retain both the milling machinery and the elevator mechanism in their original wooden structure.
