Of the Heilingskirche, built in the 15th century, only the western gable front remains. The pilgrimage church was consecrated to the “Three Marys”, Maria Jacobi (Cleophas), Maria Salome and Maria Magdalena.

The ruined church shows that there is no need for magnificent buildings to be a sacred place. It is the honest charisma together with very simple symbols of faith that show the visitor the specialty of the place. This very simple furnishing of the former pilgrimage church with its ruins reduces a visit to the church to the most important thing, namely faith - not distracted by gold and pompous symbolism. And the constant wind reminds you of the bond with nature, the overwhelming work of God.

An impressively powerful place of peace and quiet!

Small beer garden and restaurant. Rustic accommodation in the green of the Franconian Forest.

The detour is worthwhile. Also used as a motif for photo shoots.
