    The Hankirche stands on a hill above the village of Prächting. The baroque building was built in two sections in the first half of the 18th century. The name "Han" comes from Hain, a cult site surrounded by trees, a pre-Christian cultural site.
    As early as 1338 and 1358, there were first indications that a manor was next to the church on the site of a castle that had left. A lively pilgrimage to the Hankirche developed in the 16th century. In 1610 the medieval chapel was expanded by the addition of an nave and a gable roof tower. But in the 18th century the church was damaged again, so the church was rebuilt in two sections. The splendid high altar was only acquired in 1782; it fills the entire width of the choir like wall architecture.

      The approximately 150 m west-northwest of the church lying hill tower dates from the Middle Ages and was created more than 1000 years after the last running around here Celts.

        The Hankriche can already be seen from afar. The baroque church was built in the 18th century. Not all at once, but in two parts. Only recently, the tabernacle was restored and restored.
        Not far from the church, at the crossroads, the Keltenwanderweg-Tafeln inform you about the former location of a Trumhügel. Again a piece of Celtic time very close to a today's sight.
