The "stone structures" are the ruins of St. Severin's Chapel, dating from the 15th century, on Mauracher Berg. An earlier church, likely built before the turn of the millennium and later serving as a parish church, stood on this site. The fate of this earlier church is unclear; St. Severin's Chapel, as a pilgrimage church, probably fell victim to the Reformation.
