Hohenbercha: St. Margareta Parish Church

St. Margareta is the parish church of Hohenbercha and belongs to the Kranzberg parish association. It is listed as a historic monument in the Bavarian List of Monuments dated September 17, 2025. Its core dates from the late Romanesque period; the lower section of the tower probably dates to the 13th century. The church was renovated in 1476 and altered and expanded in 1861. These dates represent different construction phases: the late Romanesque core should be distinguished from the later work, and the dating of the lower section of the tower is explicitly uncertain. This places the building’s history in context without reducing it to a single construction date.
