Gschnaidt Chapel: The smaller, older chapel dates back to the 18th century and stands directly next to the newer church. It is a place of quiet contemplation and part of the historic ensemble. It is currently being renovated and is currently empty.

Holy Cross Pilgrimage Church: Built in 1856, it features a neo-Gothic design with a reticulated vault and 19th-century votive images. It was built to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims. Unfortunately, there is no lighting available here.

The hamlet of Gschnaidt lies on a hill between Kimratshofen and Frauenzell. This pilgrimage site, first mentioned around 1665, essentially consists of 2 chapels and an inn. The smaller chapel, built in 1859, stands on a hill next to the forest. Due to the large number of pilgrims, the construction of a second, larger chapel began in 1855. There has also been an economy since that time, aptly named: "Gasthof zum Kreuz". The chapels are still the destination of numerous pilgrimages but also places of contemplation.
