手頃な価格で素敵な小さなお土産

This baroque chapel, located behind the basilica, was the destination of pilgrimages before the basilica was built in the 18th century.

The path along the cliffs leading to the castle is absolutely breathtaking. A very beautiful castle, and romantically lit in winter.

Very striking, unusual rock formation

Beautiful scenery and great trails. Varied but also challenging climbs.

A very nice hike with beautiful views of Pottenstein and rock formations. Hiking boots are essential. The rocks and tree roots in the forest are very slippery.

Very nice gift ideas in terms of craftsmanship and taste.

The first church, dedicated to St. Catherine, was built into the rock as a castle chapel below the castle, in what is now the "Old Cemetery." The patronage was transferred to Spalt Abbey by the Nuremberg burgrave in 1300. Until 1431, the church was cared for more or less poorly by the vicar of Gräfenberg. Because the Thuisbrunn residents had been insisting on having their own pastor due to grievances as early as the 15th century, the castle chapel was elevated to a parish church (ecclesia parochialis) with its own pastor in 1460. Even then, this included the villages of Neusles, Höfles, Hohenschwärz, Hammer, and Dörnhof. Haidhof was added at the beginning of the 16th century. Due to extreme humidity and cold, the church fell into disrepair after a long period of time. In 1670/71, complaints were raised that "neither in winter nor in summer could the listeners stay out of the rain and snow," and that "On Laetare Sunday, the pastor could not remain in the pulpit before the trumpet, nor at the altar during the distribution of Holy Communion." Thus, a collection was taken in the Franconian Oberland and Unterland, and the money was used to build a new, larger nave for the church and a new church tower. This tower collapsed a year later. Rebuilt in 1831, the ringing of the bells was prohibited due to dilapidation. In the following years, part of the tower was demolished, and a few years later, the temporary roof was swept away by a storm. Thus, after lengthy negotiations with the state regarding the construction obligation, the foundation stone for a new church building was finally laid in 1855 on the present site on the road to Hohenschwärz. In keeping with the renewed national sentiment of the 19th century, the church was built by master builder Horneber, reminiscent of the great Gothic cathedrals, with its spaciousness and typical pointed arches in the Gothic Revival style. The 1895 altarpiece depicting the Resurrected Christ also reflects the optimism and spirit of optimism of the 19th century, driven by the increasing mastery of nature, inventions, new means of transport, and the pride of the industrial age. The sandstone baptismal font from the early 18th century and the impressive processional cross from 1711 were retained from the previous church. The Moses pulpit also originates from the old church. However, it was initially kept in adjoining rooms and was not erected in its current location until 1930 by Pastor Riedel. Source: https://www.thuisbrunn.com/katharinenkirche/
