  • The old parish church "Mariä Visitation" is a baroque building from 1722. A previous church was consecrated between 1182 and 1189 by Bishop Otto von Eichstätt . In 1594 it was restored and consecrated and over time it became a much-visited pilgrimage site; In addition, there was the old Marian pilgrimage “Maria im Klee”, the origin of which is still obscure, in the 18th century. The saying is still known today: “ Appertshofen am See, Hitzhofen im Klee, Pettenhofen am Sand, three churches are well known.” Around 1596 the tower received its current appearance with the battlements. Gabriel de Gabrieli either rebuilt the nave in 1722/23 or redesigned and extended it and rebuilt the sacristy ; it is his first church building in the Eichstätt district. The construction manager was Johann Rigalia the Younger . Later, in 1728, the choir arch was broken out and raised. The stucco work , probably by the Eichstätt plasterer Jakob Egg , and the ceiling paintings are from 1722. The consecration took place on October 4th, 1722. The high altar is baroque from 1700. Instead of an altarpiece, there is a pilgrimage picture in a niche, a wooden statue of Mary (from 1470 / 80). The side altars are also baroque, dating from around 1700; the altarpieces are later painted in the Nazarene style . The stucco pulpit is an early Rococo work from 1722 by Giuseppe Venino. - The legend tells that there was a women's monastery in Hitzhofen in the Middle Ages, perhaps it was related to the local nobility of Hitzhofen, of whom a Heinrich von Hütteshofen is mentioned in 1289.
