In the Zistersdorf pine forest there is a brick spring with a relief of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Below it you can read his motto "Viribus Unitis" (= With united forces). To the left and right of the relief are the years of his 60-year reign, 1848 and 1908. On the profiled cover plate there is a sandstone vase on the left and right of the main part. Above the base part there is a cornice made of unplastered and slanted bricks. On the lower side part there are two sandstone balls. [marterl.at]

The defense tower of Palterndorf is one of the highlights of the village. Unfortunately, he is in the middle of a property. It was not possible to tell whether it was freely accessible.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the springs of the alluvial forest were prompted by the people of Zistersdorf to build a first water pipe with wooden pipes - on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph I. in 1908, the brick factory owner Johann Krammer had a spring tap built and a relief of the emperor with his motto "Viribus unitis".
