Pilgrimage Church of St. Walburga Built in 1628, this hall church replaced the castle chapel of the medieval, now ruined castle. Its two chapels, each with a semicircular apse and attached to the nave to the north and south, give it the appearance of a cruciform church. The church tower, topped with a pointed spire, stands in the corner of the southern chapel and the retracted, three-sided choir to the east. The church was partially destroyed and its furnishings looted twice: in 1556 during the Reformation and in 1627 during the Thirty Years' War. The citizens of Cham rebuilt the destroyed parts in 1832. The interiors of the nave and the chapels are covered with flat ceilings, and the interior of the choir has a lunette vault. The three neoclassical altars are in the form of aedicules. The three altars date from around 1840. The altarpiece on the high altar is a copy of the "Walburga drapery" on the Chammünster altar. Three high-quality oil paintings and a collection of nearly 200 votive tablets surrounding an altar-like structure in the right-hand side circular panel are worth seeing. An 18th-century painting of the Immaculate Conception hangs on the south wall of the nave. The south chapel is decorated with votive offerings. Source: Excerpts from www.wikipedia.de

A nice place to linger, and if you are quiet, you can also see fish.

Parish Church of St. Martin The first Romanesque religious building in Miltach was built between 1050 and 1100. Around 1400 the apse was demolished and the current choir was built in the same place. Around the middle of the 18th century the church was given a baroque makeover, mainly by raising the tower. There were two reasons for the renewed expansion and redesign in 1974: the lack of space for churchgoers and the dilapidated structure of the nave. After initial concerns, the State Office for Monument Preservation gave its consent to the demolition of the rear part and the subsequent new construction. The official laying of the foundation stone took place on September 8, 1974 by cathedral canon Martin Lehner. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on October 25 of the same year. Auxiliary Bishop Karl Flügel consecrated the parish church on August 8, 1976. The high altar from 1760, a Rococo structure with free-standing round and square columns, is extended to the sides with passageways underneath. The figure of St. Andrew on the left and St. James on the right stand as altar guards. The center of the high altar is a painting depicting the patron saint of the parish church, St. Martin. The picture with the well-known motif of the cloak being divided was painted by Ignaz Anton Sollfleisch from Cham. At the top, the high altar ends with a so-called mercy seat, a depiction of the Holy Trinity. To the left of the altar is the figure of St. Florian (1763), to the right is the plague saint Sebastian (1754), and St. Barbara (around 1980), the latter as a replacement for the statue stolen around 1960. The left side altar is a reconstruction of the altar that burned on December 9, 1986. The Gothic Madonna of the Radiance and Child (1480) was also completely destroyed in this disaster. The other two figures, Saint Francis Xavier on the left and Saint Nepomuk on the right, were restored by carving. The altarpiece shows Saint Gertrude von Hefta, painted by Georg Achtelstetter from Cham in 1923. The right side altar (1760) received a picture of Saint Nicholas in 1987, a copy from the church in Haag near Hohenschambach. The golden apples and the book on the altar pillars as well as the miter above the altar testify that it was already dedicated to Saint Nicholas before 1923.
