St.-Annen-Kirche, Archaeological church site in Bad Münder am Deister, Germany

The foundations of St.-Annen-Kirche lie on a gently rising slope, approximately one and a half kilometers east of Bad Münder along the L421 road.

The church, initially built before 1591, served as a pilgrimage destination where visitors left numerous crutches and walking sticks as votive offerings.

The church treasurer provided Duke Erich I with a substantial loan of 7,200 guilders in 1514, funded by the offerings from numerous faithful visitors.

A geophysical survey conducted in December 1997 determined the exact location of the chapel, leading to the declaration of church foundations as ground monuments.

Archaeological excavations in October 1999 revealed foundation remains of additional structures north of the church, potentially belonging to an inn or pilgrim hostel.
