The Ehrenberg community has no church, but on the Kapellenberg, near the village, between Themar and Hildburghausen, the ruins of a medieval chapel.

It was first mentioned in a document in 1141 and was consecrated to St. Ottilie. In the pre-Reformation period it served as a pilgrimage church for those suffering from eyes, ears and head, as well as for the blind. Those seeking healing first came to the Ottilien spring halfway up the valley between Ehrenberg and the Veßra monastery before they made a pilgrimage to the chapel to seek thanks and adoration. After the Reformation the chapel was demolished.

Beautiful old ruins that can only be found in Ehrenberg thanks to small signs. But it's great that this ruin is being preserved in this way.
