Schrotturm, Klagenfurt, Industrial tower in Klagenfurt, Austria.
The Schrottenturm rises 67 meters into the sky with a square base that narrows toward the top, ending in a flat pyramid roof.
Johann Ritter von Rainer zu Harbach constructed this tower between 1814 and 1824 to manufacture lead shot pellets for ammunition production.
The tower represents early industrial manufacturing methods in Austria, featuring a relief created by Johann Ritter von Friedel on its mountain side.
The structure remains closed to visitors, with the surrounding property standing empty since the closure of its restaurant facilities in 1970.
From its summit, the tower provides views across Lake Wörthersee, though Adolf Wolf transformed it from a shot production facility into an observation point in 1927.
