War memorial chapel:
It was built in 1830 on the site of the former town hall and school building as a "guard and detention house". The planning came from the Munich architectural committee led by Leo von Klenze. The classicist style of the chapel with its four-columned portico is unmistakably in the tradition of the Herxheim town hall, whose foundation stone was laid on May 27, 1824.
After the First World War, in 1922, the building was converted into a memorial chapel according to plans by Wilhelm Schulte, which is still owned by the local community of Herxheim. Inside the chapel there is a sandstone plaque with the names of the more than 400 fallen and missing people from the community as a result of the Franco-Prussian War and the First and Second World Wars. The war memorial chapel is a listed building.

"For centuries, the parish church of St. Mary's Assumption on the Kirchberg has been a center of faith and testimony to the local residents for many generations. In an impressive, majestic way, it embodies the long Christian tradition of the village on Herxheim's "holy mountain" and presents itself as the spiritual and visual center and orientation point of the village."
