In 1753, the Sulzbacher Princess Elisabeth Auguste, the first wife of the later Bavarian Elector Karl Theodor, had a Loreto chapel built on the Annaberg. Symbolized by the small church, the parental home of Mary, which was transposed according to legend by Probst Teramus of Loreto in 1291 from Nazareth to Loreto in Italy. The "Casa Santa" refers to the mother Anna, the place of the Annunciation to Mary and thus also to Mary as Mother of Jesus.

Unfortunately, it hasn't been open for decades. Inside gloomy and not maintained. More of a storage room for the masses held every year at the Bergfest, right next door at the free altar.
