The parish church of St. Nicholas and the Frauenkirche, located high on the rock above the Ammerbach, greet visitors from near and far. These two places of worship have shaped the appearance of Ammerthal for centuries. Both churches are among the oldest, still existing buildings in the district of Amberg. Around 1010, some of the walls of the current Frauenkirche, a former castle chapel, were built, and from 1104 to 1120 the parish church of St.Nikolaus was built with the two portal lions from the early days using careful ashlar technology. These two animal figures made of sandstone are probably the oldest large sculptures preserved on site in the entire region.
