The origin of the Landsee ruin cannot be determined at present, but it was first mentioned in the tradition book of the Göttweig Abbey in 1158. Children and parents can still recognize the imposing fortification in this castle ruin today.

In the years 1875 to 1879, Mrs. Antonia Winter, out of gratitude (after the stock market crash of 1872, the couple's fortune was preserved), had a two-towered church and an associated rectory built for the sum of 160,000 guilders. However, the establishment of its own parish of Kaltenberg met with fierce resistance from ecclesiastical and secular authorities and therefore did not come to fruition. The patronage of the filial church was eventually taken over by the parish of Lichtenegg after long refusal, which received the sum of 1,156 guilders from the builder, Mrs. Antonia Winter, for the maintenance of the filial church.

Open during the day. 1614 is the oldest date in the history of the pilgrimage site of Our Lady of the Snows. The veneration of the Mother of God was first documented in 1756. The statue of grace also dates from this period. Empress Maria Theresa donated a piece of the cross to the church, which is still in use today.

Visible from afar, this church dominates the entire town, but in the past it was primarily important as a defensive structure.

On the way to the Lánzséri castle, a cute little resting place is the church and the bus stop. The view is very nice.

Stickelberg Castle was probably built in the second quarter of the 13th century. The castle first appears in documents in 1259 in the will of Berthold von Treun, who bequeathed it to the then Austrian sovereign and Bohemian King Ottokar II Premysl, which made the castle sovereign. The Stickelberg castle ruins associated with the Steyersberg estate have remained privately owned by the Wurmbrand-Stuppach family to this day and are therefore unfortunately not open to the public.
