Seligenporten Monastery The monastery, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, was founded in 1242 by Gottfried the Elder of Sulzbürg and his wife Adelheid of Hohenfels as a nunnery. In 1247, the monastery, then called "Felix Porta" ("fortunate/blessed gate"), was incorporated into the Cistercian Order through the mediation of the Archbishop of Mainz, and this was confirmed in 1249 by Bishop Heinrich of Eichstätt. In 1299, King Albrecht granted the monastery lower jurisdiction. The monastery was endowed by donations from the citizens of Sulzbürg and later from Wolfstein, as well as from the local nobility, and also served as the burial place for the Wolfstein family. Over the course of its more than 300 years, the Cistercian nunnery had further founders and patrons. Around 1500, the monastery's holdings comprised 350 properties with 650 subjects in over 20 villages, who were liable for taxes. It held the patronage rights for seven parishes and two chaplaincies. In the second half of the 15th century, the Electors of the Palatinate began to bring the Upper Palatinate monasteries under their rule. These monasteries, all heavily indebted and in dire financial straits, were powerless to resist. In 1550, Anna von Kuedorf, the last abbess of the Cistercian convent of Seligenporten, was forced to accept the Protestant church order of the Palatine Elector Ottheinrich. With her death in 1576, Seligenporten, the last abbey in the Palatinate, finally passed into the possession of the sovereign. After the annexation of the Upper Palatinate by Elector Maximilian of Bavaria, it was recatholicized, and the monastery was re-established in 1625. In 1671, the monastery was transferred to the Salesian convent in Amberg. In the course of secularization in 1803, the buildings and properties passed into private hands. Today, the former monastery church is the parish church of Seligenporten. Most of the buildings were demolished. The remaining monastery buildings were taken over in 1930/31 by the expelled Cistercians of Sittich Abbey, belonging to the Mehrerau Congregation. The community of monks, now established in Seligenporten, numbered 16 members in 1963, but was dissolved again in 1967. The former abbey church was restored between 1976 and 1979. In 2003, the former brewhouse of the old monastery brewery was renovated, and a new microbrewery was established. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

Monastery Church of the Assumption of Mary The monastery church was originally dedicated to the Visitation of Mary and is now dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The nave is stylistically dated to the late 13th century. The chancel likely dates from the first half of the 14th century. The elongated, plastered hall church with a slightly recessed chancel, measuring 54 meters in length, features stepped buttresses at the chancel. A gabled tower with a pointed spire on the west side is open at the bottom. The church is a single-nave structure with a large nuns' gallery and, below it, the burial vault (so-called crypt) for the founding families of Sulzbürg and Wolfstein. The design is simple, with high, bare walls and no paintings or sculptures to minimize distractions from prayer. By the mid-14th century, the church's clear tripartite division was complete: the nuns' church in the west, the lay church in the center, and the priests' church in the east. The nuns' primary duties consisted of choral prayer and work. It can therefore be assumed that the church and the monastic living quarters were the first buildings completed. Until the Reformation, almost all deceased members of the founding family were buried here, and the nuns prayed daily for their souls. Several gravestones from this period still exist. The nuns' choir stalls on the gallery have been preserved and are therefore unique in all of Europe. The Baroque altars that adorn the church were acquired around 1720 after all the paintings and altars were burned during the Reformation. The high altar was crafted by a carpenter named Ulrich Schäfer from Neumarkt; the sculptor of the figures is unknown. The altarpiece, "The Visitation of Mary," is by the Landshut painter Wolf Simon Groß. In the right side altarpiece, dating from the late 17th century, the Three Wise Men pay homage to the Christ Child, above which is a statue of the Archangel Michael with a flaming sword and scales. In the left side altar stands a statue of the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child at the center, flanked by the apostles Peter and Paul. Above, a guardian angel holds his hand over a child. On the north wall of the nave is a dynamic, life-size group of figures dating from 1762, depicting the crucifix with John Nepomuk, accompanied by a putto and an angel.

St. Willibald Parish Church The hall church with its eastern chancel tower is of Romanesque origin, was remodeled in the Gothic period, refurnished in the Baroque era, and extended westward by two bays in 1834. The 52-meter-high church tower, built of sandstone blocks, bears the date 1491 on a corner stone; the spire was constructed from timbers dating from 1771. A gatehouse ("hay tower") from the 14th/15th century is part of the former churchyard fortifications; the cemetery itself was relocated outside the churchyard in 1864. Only three Gothic statues survived the iconoclasm of the 16th century (St. Nicholas, St. Willibald, and St. James the Apostle). The three Baroque altars were probably created by Johann Ulrich Wiest from Schrobenhausen around 1753. The altarpiece depicts St. Willibald and his sister, St. Walburga's Assumption into Glory is symbolized by the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. The work was created by Johann Chrysostomus Wink, court painter of Eichstätt. The altarpiece is framed by figures of the parents of St. Willibald and St. Walburga, St. Richard, and his wife, St. Wuna. The upper section depicts the Holy Trinity. The left side altar shows the Blessed Virgin Mary with Child as Queen of Heaven, with St. Joseph to her left and St. Joachim, her father, to her right. The right side altar is dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua; to his left is St. Francis Xavier, one of the most important missionaries in church history, and to his right is St. John Nepomuk. The frescoes, framed by simple stucco, were painted in 1874 by Georg Lang, a church painter from Deiningen, in the Nazarene style. The church organ was built by the organ builder Andreas M. Ott from Bensheim. The church tower houses four bells; the "Evangelist Bell" dates from the early 14th century and is thus one of the oldest bells in the Diocese of Eichstätt. Three additional bells were added after the war, brought from Erding and Heidelberg. Source: Excerpts from the church guide

The parish of Mater Dolorosa currently has 1,330 Catholic members. In addition to the main town of Pyrbaum, it includes the districts of Oberhembach, Pruppach, Neuhof, Asbach, Straßmühle, and Birkenlach. The district of Unterferrieden, part of the municipality of Burgthann, also belongs to the Pyrbaum parish. The market town of Pyrbaum is the westernmost municipality in the Upper Palatinate and lies on the edge of the Nuremberg metropolitan area. Due to historical reasons—the former rulers of the region were Protestant—and the influx of people from the metropolitan area, Protestant Christians are numerically predominant in Pyrbaum. Therefore, ecumenism plays a significant role alongside Catholic parish life.

A first church was consecrated around 1060 in honor of St. Willibald, the founding bishop of the Diocese of Eichstätt. Formerly also a fortified church with four defensive towers—the "Hay Tower" from the 14th/15th century still stands, the others were demolished in the 17th century due to their dilapidated condition—the church has been remodeled several times. For example, in 1491 the church tower was built as a "pointing finger to heaven," but was partially destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The church is a single-nave building (without dividing columns in the interior).
