Marienwarte, Observation tower in Thalheim bei Wels, Austria.
The Marienwarte rises 23 meters from the Reinberg hill, providing views of Wels, Upper Austria, and the distant Alpine mountain ranges.
The tower construction began in March 1892 under Dr. Schauer's plans, with its official opening ceremony taking place on July 17 of the same year.
Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria signed the guest book, marking their visits to this observation point near Wels.
The tower remains open from Tuesday through Sunday, with hours between 8 AM to 8 PM during April-October and 8 AM to 5 PM from November-March.
Located on the Reinberg hill, the tower stands where Romans constructed water pipelines 1700 years ago to supply fresh spring water to ancient Ovilava.
