Remains of the walls of the so-called St. John's or Pilgrim's Chapel, which Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein had built in the pine forest of the Kalenderberg in 1818. Because of its somewhat unusual roof shape, this chapel was popularly known as the "pepper box".

It was destroyed in the revolutionary year of 1848 and not rebuilt.
