"Die in der Denkmalliste Rheinland-Pfalz als förmlich geschütztes Kulturdenkmal erfasste Maria-Hilf-Kapelle (Landskrone) liegt in Richtung Westen unterhalb der Landskrone. Bereits in der Antike solle es an ihrer Stelle eine heidnische Kulturstätte gegeben haben. Ein Burgherr der Landskrone ließ die heute Kapelle bauen, nachdem seine drei Töchter vor Raubrittern gerettet wurden. Aus diesem Grund wird sie auch "Drei Jungfern", aber auch "Fünf Jungfern" und "Marienkapelle" genannt. König Otto V. stellte der Kapelle im Jahr 1212 einen Schutzbrief aus. Obwohl die Kapelle stets der Pfarrei Heimersheim unterstand, kümmern sich heute die Heppinger um das Bauwerk. Die Burg Landskron selbst soll über mehrere eigene Kapellen innerhalb der Burganlage verfügt haben. "
