In the film Grapes, Honza (Kryštof Hádek) drives by on his way to the airport, where he's taking his grandfather to put him on a plane to Argentina. At last he can please the old man by sending him for a holiday abroad. When Johann I Joseph, Prince of Liechtenstein, wanted to do a similar thing two centuries earlier, he had this monument built for his family. It's also documented with a sign in German: "Son to Father, Brother to Brothers." Times change, deeds remain.

The construction designed by Joseph Hardtmuth, inventor of the modern-day pencil, serves as a lookout. Since its location is in proximity of the Austrian border, only border guards used it after WW II.
