The church of St. Agatha, which is surrounded by a 17th-century cemetery wall covered with limestone slabs, is essentially a Romanesque complex that was given a Baroque touch in the 18th century.

The little church is a single-nave building with a flat roof and a recessed rectangular chancel. Above it is a baroque roof turret with an octagon and onion dome.

The interior of the church features a rather plain high altar from around 1720 and an original gallery support with a 17th-century offering box.

A small church that was wonderfully embedded in the valley. There have already been prizes for the natural design of the facility.

The pilgrimage church "To the Three Wretched Saints" in Griesstetten is a baroque church with a special history. It commemorates three Irish monks who lived in the region in the 12th century and were revered for their miraculous deeds. The current church was built in the 18th century and impresses with artistic frescoes and a magnificent high altar. Located directly on the Altmühl, it is not only a spiritual place, but also a popular destination for hikers and pilgrims who want to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful landscape.
