All that remains of the single-nave, late Gothic building are surrounding walls up to five meters high, the portal and an ogival window. The first documented mention dates back to 1508, in connection with a crime committed here. Further notes from the diocese of Eichstätt date back to 1408.

Due to the name “Holy Tree”, it is assumed that this place was already a pre-Christian place of worship. This assumption is not proven, but it is conceivable, as this place lies in the transition between the high mountain “Acropolis of the Celts” and the Houbirg.

Services are held several times a year in the ruined chapel "Zum Heilige Baum", accompanied by the trombone choir on the 2nd day of Pentecost, Forest Christmas on Thomas Day. There is also a devotion at the church fair. The oldest (indirect) evidence is a note about a church visitation by the diocese of Eichstätt in 1480.
