history
Pilgrimage Church of the Virgin Mary
On the mountain on the Kirchweg from Adersbach to Merkelsdorf there used to be a wooden Marienkapelle. In 1677 the owner of the Adersbach estate, Leopold Ulrich Liebsteinsky von Kolowrat, had the dilapidated chapel replaced by a single-nave stone pilgrimage church. The pilgrimage church consecrated to the Virgin Mary also served as a burial place for Count Kolowrat on Adersbach.
In the course of the Josephine reforms , the pilgrimage church on the Holy Mountain was closed and closed in 1786. The Counts of Blümegen had the crypt cleared and the 21 coffins in the parish church of St. Transfer the Trinity to Merkelsdorf. The interior was auctioned publicly in 1787.
Subsequently, the desecrated and decaying church was used as a granary for a few years. At the beginning of the 19th century, the roof, which was in danger of collapsing, was demolished; in the 1830s, large parts of the church had already been demolished.
Say
There are a few legends about the church ruins. When the vault was cleared, the coffin of the secretary Johann Georg Scheithauer is said to have been accidentally left standing. Since then, Scheithauer has been sitting at night in the vault of the ruin with a lamp on his coffin and waiting for his release. Likewise, the auctioned miraculous image is said to have returned to its old place again and again until it was finally transferred to the main altar of the Merkelsdorf parish church.
Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk
South of the Holy Mountain in the Töpfergrund (Hrnčířské údolí) between the Holsterberg (Křížový vrch) , the administrator of the Adersbach estate, Matthias Ignaz Doubrawa, had a church dedicated to St. Build a wooden path chapel dedicated to John of Nepomuk. At the instigation of Barbara Zinke, née Rost, the dilapidated chapel was rebuilt in 1880 as a stone building. In her last will, she bequeathed a sum of money to the church with the obligation to maintain the chapel. Until the end of the Second World War, the Rost family from Merkelsdorf took care of the maintenance of the band. After their expulsion, the chapel was left to decay. In 2005 the roof and the facade of the chapel surrounded by two linden trees were renewed. The restoration of the mural and the cross inside took place in 2009; two years later the chapel received a new wooden figure of its patron saint.
