Construction and Masonry

The lower two storeys of the tower display hand-hewn ashlar masonry, reflecting the building techniques of the 12th century.

The upper storeys are built with less finely worked stones and reflect the masonry style that was common in eastern Austria during the 13th century.

The joints between the stones are filled with lime mortar, which is smoothed with a trowel. This exposed-stone plaster is typical of Romanesque masonry and is known as Pietra Rasa.
