To the north, outside the municipality, lies this brick weather tower of Rinnegg. It is built in the form of a Romanesque tower made of natural stone masonry and has a history that can be traced back to the end of the 18th century. It was once used to ring the weather bells to ward off approaching storms. Its bells were probably also rung to drive away evil spirits and the Schöckl witches. "Trinity" of Weather Towers The relationship between this weather tower and two others is remarkable: On the flat hilltop south of Niederschöckl stands the weather tower, built in 1824, and the next one is the wooden one of Schaftalberg. Standing at approximately equal distances from each other, the three towers form an almost straight line.

Gottscheer Memorial The Gottscheer Memorial was built in 1967 in Graz-Mariatrost. In a large exhibition area on the first and second basement floors of the church, the 650-year history of the German-speaking island in what is now Slovenia is presented. Gottscheer costumes, home work, a Gottscheer farmhouse parlor, literature and pictures impressively document the cultural identity of this ethnic group that still lives in close solidarity today. Opening hours: Visits to the memorial are possible by prior appointment by telephone: T +43/664/3533338 (Mag. Renate Fimbinger)

Currently (Nov 2024) it looks like a renovation is underway here. Someone is putting up a fence around the house - to keep hikers away and fence off private property? (See my photos)
