Mariä Heimsuchung (Visitation of the Virgin Mary)
Around 1670/80 three brothers of Sickingen, had a small chapel built. It was called "Zu unserer lieben Frau". In 1704 the k.u.k. Lieutenant D.P.H. Biot donated the chapel a painting. It showed the "Weinende Madonna von Pötsch" (= crying Madonna of Pötsch, Hungary). You can find the original of the painting in the Stephansdom in Vienna, Austria.
In the course of time a pilgrimage evolved to the painting. Because of that pope Pius VII bestlowed the pilgrims full indulgence at the feast of "Maria Heimsuchung".
The laying of the foundation stone of this parish church was on July 02, 1911.
The old chapel was knocked down in 1916.
Over the years extensive renovations and redecorations took place.
