Beucha Mountain Church

The listed, extremely photogenic mountain church Beucha was built in the 13th century and expanded in the 19th century. Due to their location on the 147 meter high Beuchaer Kirchberg, you can see them from afar. The mountain itself is made of granite porphyry, which was mined here for a long time. The small lake Kirchbruch, which lies at the foot of the church, is one of the national geotopes in the Porphyrland Geopark.
