Court Church
The Court Church "To Our Lady" was originally a small chapel that would have been built on the site as early as 962. The chapel was enlarged into the present court church from 1418 to 1499. However, the church was only used by the court of Count Palatine for a few years: when Frederick II became an elector in 1544, he brought his seat of government back to Heidelberg. At the same time, the Count Palatine, who was increasingly Lutherian, also initiated the Reformation in Neumarkt. After many changes of faith, the church finally became Catholic again in 1649, after Neumarkt returned to the Bavarian fold.
