History

The original building was constructed in 1888 and was made of wood. This building was destroyed in 1906 and a new stone observation tower was built in 1907. In 1934 a chalet with a restaurant and possible accommodation was built next to the tower. This chalet replaced the wooden public house from 1890, which burnt down in 1933.
