    When Weißenstein became a parish in 1479, the construction of a parish church began.
    From this late gothic church the west tower was taken over for the baroque new building of 1716,
    as well some late gothic sculptures and a bell from 1564. The church lies idyllic in the
    Town center on foot of the Weißensteiner castle.

    In many rural areas it is customary for the population to collect bunches of herbs (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and to bless them in the festival service.
