In 1518, the town of Eger built a late Gothic chapel here in honor of Saint Anne. Anne was the mother of Mary and thus the grandmother of Jesus Christ. A square tower was added to the chapel in 1684, and a Baroque nave in 1691. This created a single-nave pilgrimage church. At the same time, the church served as the parish church for the surrounding villages of Ober- and Unterpilmersreuth, Oberkunreuth, Kreuzenstein, Boden, and the Eger districts of Hohlerhof and Nonnenhof. A residence for the Franciscan priests, a school, an inn, and a cemetery were built nearby. After the communist takeover in 1948, the buildings were gradually demolished and finally torn down in 1967. Only a few remains of the walls and the symbolically recreated cemetery with a large wooden cross and several gravestones remain as reminders of St. Anne's Church.
