Wallfahrtskirche Maria Martental, Pilgrimage church in Leienkaul, Germany.

Wallfahrtskirche Maria Martental stands above the Valley of the Wild Endert, surrounded by natural landscapes of the slate mining region near Kaisersesch.

The monastery's origins date to 1141 when the Augustinian canons of Springiersbach established the foundation, receiving confirmation from King Conrad III and Pope Eugene III.

The church preserves a 78-centimeter wooden Pietà from the late 15th century, which required restoration in 1910 following a fire.

The church maintains consistent hours throughout the year, welcoming visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with an art and book shop on site.

The Pietà statue featured a rotating base allowing visibility both inside the church and outside during pilgrimage services until 2004.
