The first chapel was built around 1360 in the Gothic style and placed under the patronage of Saint Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. When the church was enlarged in 1595, this section was likely used as the chancel. The words "begun in the year 1595 and completed in 1599" can be found on the ceiling above the gallery.

Very tasty food and beer. You can sit in the shade a little back from the road and enjoy the Franconian specialties. I can only recommend the pit stop 🤗

The Pegnitz train station is located on the Pegnitz River of the same name on the Nuremberg - Bayreuth line. The bus station is on the station square.
