The complex opened on October 30, 1898. Construction was approved in July 1898 by the Beautification Association, under chairman Franz Beydi. A memorial to Emperor Franz Joseph was erected to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his reign. The gallery was built directly beneath a small waterfall on the path to the newly completed power plant. The plaque was designed by sculptor Carl Hermann in 1984. It bears the inscription "Emperor Franz Joseph 1848 – 1898" and features a bronze relief head of the emperor.

A shady rest area with a sign for Franz Josef. At first, I only saw the rest area, and the sign only later when driving back down.

The Hundertwasser Mill in the Waldviertel is a fascinating building that reflects the creative vision of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. This unique mill impresses with its colorful design and organic architecture. A visit is worthwhile to experience the connection between art and nature in this beautiful environment.
