The high cross

In 1746 the community built a local Catholic chapel by demolishing a field chapel at the "Fuhrwegmitte"; a measurement license was not granted. When the parish of St. Michael in Rupertsbuch was formed in 1749, Wintershof was added to the new parish and from there it was to be provided with pastoral care. In 1790 an altar was consecrated. 1800/01, bell founder Josef Stapf from Eichstätt delivered two bells, which were joined by two steel bells from Ulrich & Weule from Apolda (Thuringia) in 1921 . A completely new four-part chime came in the tower in 1955. In 1814 a royal organizational decree assigned Wintershof as a branch of the St. Cross of the Eichstätter parish of St. Walburg .
