The little church in Hampersberg is a nave, late Gothic brick building with a west tower from the second half of the 15th century. The little church is consecrated to St. Kilian, secondary patrons are St. Martin and St. George. Another church also stood on the ridge towards Engfurt and was part of the former Erharting castle. The relics of St. Ulrich come from this church and are also located in Hampersberg today. St. Mary has always been venerated by the villagers in Hampersberg. In 1696 a hiker came through the village, nobody knew where he came from or where he was going. He carried a figure of Mary with him, simply made of wood, with a brocaded cloak. He gave this figure to the little church and Marian devotions are still held there today. At the beginning of the 20th century, this church was still visited by many pilgrims. Many memorial plaques adorned the walls of the building. During the 2nd World War it was used as a hospital. During the upheavals of that time, the plaques disappeared. The forest around Hampersberg today belongs to the Bavarian State Forests. It was discussed whether the church should be torn down. Thanks to the massive commitment of the Erhartinger community, it was possible to maintain it, on condition that the community would like to take care of the little church. This is still done on a voluntary and loving basis.

A nice place to linger and take a break. The car can also be parked here, a 2-hour pilgrimage to the Engfurt hermitage begins from Hampersdorf. Unfortunately the church was locked.
