The small, round chapel with niches, situated at the edge of the forest, was built in 1994 according to the plans of architect Hermann Wiechmann from Hayna, largely through the volunteer efforts of the Marienkapelle e.V. (St. Mary's Chapel Association), and consecrated in 1996. Its striking features include a conical roof with a spire and bell, as well as modern stained-glass windows. An old field chapel on Kapellenweg (Chapel Path) had been demolished in 1960 due to its dilapidated condition. A promise was made to build a new, more attractive chapel elsewhere. The chapel contains a neo-Gothic Pietà and an 18th-century statue of St. John Nepomuk, both painted. Also of note is the photographic documentation of those killed and missing in action during both World Wars.

Hatzenbühl has been an independent parish since the end of the 13th century, following its separation from the parish of Herxheim. A medieval church existed in Hatzenbühl from at least this time. It already featured the current Gothic church tower. Between 1755 and 1758, it was replaced by a Baroque church, although the historic church tower was retained. The Baroque Passion Cross in the churchyard was likely erected during this period. The current Baroque-style hall church was finally built between 1929 and 1930 according to designs by the Kaiserslautern architect Hans Seeberger. The Baroque chancel was preserved and now serves as a side chapel.

Hayna has had an independent parish since 1785. A new church was built in 1722 to replace the medieval one, which was then demolished in 1820 to make way for the present church, Holy Cross (Church of the Finding of the True Cross). The altar, sculpted by Leopold Hafner of Passau, depicts a Tree of Life.
