The pilgrimage to St. John Nepomuk at the Forst began when Pastor Florian Sigismund v. Miller from Oberviechtach built a small field chapel with a picture of John Nepomuk on the busy road from Regensburg to Bohemia in 1704. The chapel must have been very small. The pilgrimage was obviously very popular with the local population and passing traders, who donated generously to the small chapel, so that the desire to build a large pilgrimage church was soon expressed.
