Culture and sights
Old parish church Wattens hl. Laurentius
Swarovski Crystal Worlds: For Swarovski's centenary (1995), an illusionistic glass world was built to designs by André Heller in an artificial hill at the east end of the town. Inside are modern chambers of wonder based on the historic ones at Ambras Castle. Cultural events such as "Music in the Giant" or the "Giant Children's Game" also take place here.
Museum Wattens: The Museum of Industrial and Prehistory offers an insight into the past and present of the communities of Wattens and Volders. It contains finds from the Rätersiedlung Himmelreich as well as urns with extensive grave goods from 431 graves of the Volder urn field. In a second section, the history of the development of the Wattens paper factory, founded in 1559, as well as that of the Swarovski company is presented.
Rätersiedlung Himmelreich: The settlement was located on a hilltop between Wattens and Volders. On the settlement area, which is enclosed by a ring wall, the foundations of five buildings can be visited, which probably represented the heap yard of a Rhaetian nobleman. It was inhabited from the 4th to the 1st century B.C. and was destroyed by fire. The open-air museum can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot and is freely accessible.
Typewriter Museum: The museum displays over 450 fully functional models from the development of the typewriter and covers the period from 1884 to the present. Cutaway models provide insight into the function.
