The Schweinheimer Kirchel was first mentioned in 1051 when Emperor Heinrich III gave it to the bishops of Speyer with the village of Schweinheim. In the 14th century, numerous Schweinheimers settled in the fortified Jockgrim and also took the stones for their houses as building material. The Schweinheimer Kirchel is the only remnant of the Franconian settlement of Schweinheim. It is dedicated to Saint Pancratius and the Virgin Mary and has become a popular place of pilgrimage. The church festival is celebrated every year on July 2 at 10:00 a.m. after the preliminary rosary prayer with a pilgrimage service

Not only the small, quiet chapel with the beautiful colorful windows is worth a visit. There are also a few shady seats for a leisurely rest.

Nice chapel from the former village of Schweinheim. A small park with the Mariengrotte and benches invite you to linger.
