The Markuskapelle was first mentioned in 1216. They were built in honor of Saints Mary , Laurentius and Nicholas . From 1297 the chapel is documented as a place of pilgrimage . The Markuskapelle was so destroyed in the Peasants' War around 1525 that it fell apart in the following time. The miraculous image, a Madonna and Child from around 1480, still adorns the side altar of the Faulbach parish church today . The chapel ruin then served as a cattle shed for a time. In the 19th century, the Counts of Wertheim-Löwenstein-Rosenberg were able to prevent the ruins from falling victim to stone robbery or as building material for road construction.
