    The Heilingskirche was probably built between 1433 and 1469. Today only the western gable front stands impressively on the hill. The former stately church was heavily visited by pilgrims before and supposedly also after the Reformation. The church fell into disrepair after the Reformation and was demolished in 1564. The Wirsbergers built their first school house from these stones.

        The ruin Heilingskirche stands impressively on a hill near Neufang and is located directly on the FrankenwaldSteig and the FrankenwaldSteigla Goldener Falk path. You have a wonderful view of the Kulmbacher country.
