    The "Heiligenhäusle" is a small chapel on Retzbacher Berg with the portrait of the Holy Family. In the Middle Ages, the "last" drink was served to the delicacies on their way to the Würzburg district court and the relatives said goodbye.

    The Heiligenhäusle commemorates the offenders and law breakers who passed by here many years ago on their way to the Würzburg court. Saying goodbye to their relatives, they were given a sip of Stetten wine and a piece of bread at their last home station, so it is said.
    This was also the case with Andreas Renk in the 17th century, who shortly before "seriously injured his wife while drunk, which ultimately caused her to die". The culprit was sentenced to death and executed in Karlstadt.
