Muckklause
The Muckklause (also: Muthklause ) is a hermitage in the municipality toads in Pinzgau in Salzburg .
The hermitage is registered in the monument protection list of the Austrian Federal Monuments Office .
Building description
The Muckklause is made of "red, gray and yellowish-white marble". The wall height is six and the width 17 fathoms , which roughly corresponds to a height of a good ten and a width of a good 30 meters. The hermitage is equipped with an automatic opening mechanism. If the water is dammed up to a specified height, it runs through a narrow gap above the floor level into a channel. If the weight of the water presses the channel down, it triggers a large iron-studded mallet, which releases the large locking bar of the water gate. The water gate opens and the hermitage is emptied.
On the hermitage there is a small company house with a shingle-roofed gable roof. The roof of the hermitage itself is also covered with wooden shingles.
history
The Muckklause was first mentioned in a document in 1626.

location
