    In the summit area of the Katharinenberg are the ruins of the former pilgrimage church, the oldest building in Wunsiedel, which was dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. The time of its origin is unknown, in a letter of indulgence sealed by 14 archbishops and bishops from October 1, 1364 it was first mentioned. The former mountain chapel contained a widely famous miraculous image of St. Catherine, which attracted many pilgrims.
