Wallfahrtskirche Todtmoos

The baroque church sits atop Schönbühl hill, featuring a tall tower, two side aisles, and ornate interior decorations by Wessobrunner School artists.

Following a reported vision of the Virgin Mary in 1255, priest Dietrich von Rickenbach constructed the first chapel, which later evolved into the current structure built between 1625-1632.

For over 700 years, pilgrims from Germany, Alsace, and northern Switzerland have traveled to this spiritual center to present their prayers to the image of Mary.

The church welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM in summer and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in winter, with regular masses on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

The pilgrimage stands along the steep path to the church mark where vendors traditionally sold Todtmooser gingerbread, earning locals the nickname Lebkuchler.
