Our Lady of Altötting, Catholic pilgrimage church in Altötting, Germany.
The octagonal Gnadenkapelle houses a wooden statue of the Black Madonna and displays over 2,000 votive images across its interior and exterior walls.
The chapel dates back to 660 AD and gained prominence in 1489 when reports emerged of a drowned boy being revived after his mother prayed before the Madonna.
The chapel maintains the tradition of heart burials, containing 28 silver urns with hearts of German nobility members, including Bavarian kings and queens.
The chapel remains open daily for visitors and pilgrims, with regular religious services and opportunities for individual prayer and contemplation.
Pope Benedict XVI donated his episcopal ring to the shrine in 2006, which now forms part of the scepter held by the Black Madonna statue.
