    Former Kahle Höhe Church, now a burial chapel. In Reichstädt.

    Information:

    Until its demolition in 1872, the pilgrimage church "To the Fourteen Holy Helpers," first mentioned in 1320, stood here. Demolished in 1872 due to its dilapidated condition, the burial chapel was built in the Neo-Gothic style in 1902 on almost the same site. Not far from Kahle Höhe (589 m).

    A pilgrimage church used to stand here. Now there is a crypt hidden in a group of trees.

    In 1320, the first mention of a pilgrimage church dedicated to the 14 Holy Helpers was made. It gained special significance with the construction of the Holy Way for pilgrims from Osek to Meissen. It was closed with the Reformation. In 1593, it was consecrated to the Protestants and reopened. It was under the protection of the Schönberg family. As the condition of the building deteriorated in the following centuries, it was demolished in 1872. In 1902, a crypt for the Schönberg family and a chapel were built on the site of the church.
