The historic town of Gnadenberg, which was originally called Eichelberg, has had its name since the Birgitten monastery was founded in the 15th century. Until 1978, Gnadenberg formed the municipality of Oberölsbach with the towns of Ober- and Unterölsbach, Reichenholz and Irleshof. Gnadenberg has been part of the municipality of Berg since May 1, 1978.

Great ruin, a couple of parking spaces right across the street. However, according to the sign, it is prohibited to bring dogs on the site of the ruin. Pity!
