The medieval St. George's Church on the south-west edge is slightly elevated in the middle of meadows and is one of the most beautiful things to see in the district of Forchheim, indeed in the entire area. The chapel is one of the oldest churches in Franconia, it was built in the 9th or 10th century on the site of the Germanic places of worship. St. George's Church was mentioned for the first time in the contract between Konrad Gottsmann and Forchheim's St. Martin's Abbey of November 26, 1405. An old horse pilgrimage was connected with the church until 1800. The parades took place on April 23, the Georgi festival.
