The Ecological chapel built in 1997 and dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi, protects and notifies the inhabitants there of the dam Golica/Koralpe, built on the other side of the national border in Austria, in the municipality of Soboth. The chapel serves as a symbol and draws attention to the danger facing the Bistrica Valley – of the wave of water, held behind the dam that would flood the valley, if the dam broke.
