    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

    The patronage "Maria (or in other spelling:) Mariä Himmelfahrt" of this church in Weißenstein refers to one of the many commemoration days or festivals in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15.
    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.

    A mighty and beautiful church in Weißenberg. Together with the Schloß Weißenberg above it on the slope, they form a great overall picture.
