EN: This transformer tower stands a few steps west of the entrance to the former Herznach iron mine.

The tower is located in a fenced area. It has two floors and a flat gable roof. On the south side it has a double-leaf wooden door with warning signs and fixings of insulators under the gable. On the east side, some insulators are also still in place. On the north side, overhead wires apparently still exist, but this side is not accessible. On the west side is a concrete annex painted blue. In the 2014 pictures from "https://www.swisstrafos.ch", this annex is not yet present. According to this website, the tower was built in 1943.
