The baroque pilgrimage church to the "Holy Cross", popularly known as the "Talkirche", was consecrated in 1716; the previous building was first mentioned around 1360. According to a legend, its construction goes back to the vows of two farmers. They are said to have been surprised by a violent storm while they were harvesting and found themselves in an extremely dangerous situation with their heavily laden vehicle. Frightened, they promised to build a chapel to Our Lady in the valley if they returned home safely with animals and wagon.

The corona restrictions currently allow max. 5 visitors with face masks at the same time.

The current church dates from 1712 and was designed by court architect Joseph Greissing. On August 19, 1716, the new building was finally consecrated to the "Holy Cross" by the Auxiliary Bishop of Würzburg. The interior includes three altars and the pulpit, which were made in the classicist style. But the votive offerings there are also absolutely worth seeing. Right next door on the meadow is another free age with a larger-than-life crucifixion group from 1941.
