Even from afar, the friendly yellow of the pilgrimage church in Söllitz stands out from the hilly landscape of the Upper Palatinate Forest.
The church is dedicated to the Shrine of Our Lady and the 14 Holy Helpers in need.
The veneration of the 14 helpers in need goes back to the middle of the 15th century and has the great example in the pilgrimage basilica of Vierzehnheiligen am Main.

St. Martin Church in Oberpfreimd
Highlight • Religious Site
The church, dedicated to the Franconian national saint, has been documented as a royal church or tithe church (ecclesia decimalis) for the first half of the 11th century. 1022/1023 Bishop Egilbert von Freising acquires the property of Oberpfreimd from the noble free Sahso. Between 1024 and 1231 the church was handed over by Abbot Arnolt von Weihenstephan together with eleven censual hooves and a mill to Bishop Egilbert of Freising in exchange for ten perch hoofs and the tithe of the church in Hohenkammer. Shortly before, the Freising Bishopric, Count Udalschalk, had given Oberpfreimd to the Weihenstephan monastery as spiritual aid for Bishop Egilbert.
From 1398 to the 16th century, Oberpfreimd belonged to the Leuchtenberg family. Oberpfreimd belonged to the parish of Nabburg and was only transferred to Pfreimd in 1856. The simple church building with an uncontracted choir closed on three sides and a west tower with a pyramid roof was erected in 1769 with the participation of the Pfreimder master mason Johannes Rickl and the master carpenter Johann Mathias Plödt. The Nabburg master craftsmen Adam Friedrich Corneiß, Christoph Luybl, Jakob and Johann Peter Puchner and the painter Franz Lidtmann made the entire interior.

Stein Castle on the Pfreimd
Highlight • Castle
The Lords of Stein were documented as Udalricus de Steine in 1118. This family can be traced back to Stein until the 16th century. Stein Castle had probably belonged to the Leuchtenberg family since the 12th century, but had been their own fief since the 14th century.
On February 11, 1524, Mathes vom Stein sold Stein Castle and everything that went with it to Georg von Prandt. The Prandt family had taken over Hohentreswitz in 1576 and had thus risen to become one of the most powerful landed families in the Nabburg district.
From 1621, Johann Singer was undoubtedly in Stein. In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War from 1618 to 1648, with devastating economic, social and cultural consequences. The Nabburg district, to which the Hofmark Stein belonged, was severely affected. In 1632, the Singer heirs asked the government in Amberg for food and clothing.
After the death of Hans Albrecht Singer, Stein went to Christian Gobell. According to the deed of loan dated January 3, 1650, the castle and the Stein manor were transferred to him.
From 1755 to 1805, ownership of Stein changed hands, first to Aloys Bonaventura, Count of Kreuth, then to Joseph Ignati Corbinian von Korb. In 1762, Maria Anna Baroness von Podewils bought the Stein estate. Around 1802 or 1805, although the information is not clear, Stein passed to Johann Baptist von Duprel.
The Stein Castle on the Pfreimd, also known as Stein Castle, is the ruin of a hilltop castle. The complex was built on a rocky outcrop above the Pfreimd. There are several buildings within the castle walls, including the former castle. This is a two-storey, plastered, gable-roof building, the core of which dates back to the 16th century. The courtyard gate and the former gatehouse are also part of this listed building. In the 18th century, most of the castle was demolished and a new building was constructed. The current castle is built on the remains of a medieval keep. Parts of the castle wall made of quarry stone masonry have also been preserved. The castle complex is privately owned and cannot be visited.
