The pilgrimage church of Maria Schnee with an outside pulpit for the people when they can no longer fit inside during the pilgrimage, and an expressive Nepomuk sculpture.
Originally just a chapel (namely the lower part; consecrated in 1734, donated by the Liebsch couple from Schnauhübel), it soon became a place of pilgrimage (from 1814 annually in August) and in 1845/47 the nave was added.
