Opposite the Catholic church is the Protestant bell tower. During the Reformation, Walbersdorf was a Protestant stronghold in Burgenland. After the Edict of Toleration in 1781, when Protestant Christians were again allowed to publicly profess their faith, a dispute arose over whether the bells of the Catholic church should be rung at Protestant funerals. It is said that the issue was also about money, as was the possibility of a fee being paid for the ringing. The people of Walbersdorf could not agree. So, in 1800, the Protestants finally built their own bell tower, because no one should embark on their final journey without hearing the sound of the bells. They built it as a small, self-assured symbol directly opposite the local Catholic church. Shortly after its construction, the tower began to lean. Today, it is more crooked than the Tower of Pisa, yet it still doesn't fall over. (https://evang.at/der-schiefe-turm-von-walbersdorf/)

The steep, sunny slopes of the Rohrbacher Kogel (Kogelberg) nature reserve are home to a very diverse range of flora and fauna due to their calcareous soil and favorable climatic conditions.

The monastery complex, founded in 1475 by Ulrich I for the Pauline Order, an order still widely represented in Europe today, was marked by constant disputes over ownership throughout its eventful history. The situation only calmed down after an agreement with the Esterházy family in 1667. Between 1743 and 1762, the present appearance was created, taking into account the medieval ruins and reduced structure. In 1782, the monastery was dissolved as part of the Josephine monastic reform. Uninhabited since 1836, the monastery subsequently underwent only makeshift repairs; plans to reestablish an order ultimately failed due to adverse circumstances. A general renovation was not carried out until 1925, during which a Lourdes grotto was built in the former refectory. Between 1982 and 1986, the very ruined monastery underwent another complete restoration.
