The Lohmühle or Vianden dam is located in Our, near the town of Vianden, in north-eastern Luxembourg. The reservoirs represented in the stamp containins 10 million m³ of water (of which 6.9 million m³ are usable). Construction of the dam began in August 1959, the first nine generator sets were installed between 1962 and 1964; in 1976 the plant was expanded with a tenth unit, and with another in 2014.
