The parish church of St. Rupert is located on a mountain 439 m high and can be seen from afar in the area. St. Rupert's has a distinctive tower with a pointed roof and 4 corner towers. Birds breed in the tower. A castle stood here in the early Middle Ages. But Burgkirchen am Wald was already a parish at the time of Duke Arnulf the Evil (907-937). "The late Gothic building from the second quarter of the 15th century has a high, protruding west tower. Medieval parts are a portal with Romanesque door fittings and a Romanesque baptismal font in the tower basement as well as a Gothic wall fresco in the choir. The furnishings are Baroque. The Way of the Cross dates from the year 1749" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgkirchen_am_Wald
