Kapelle zur Schmerzhaften Muttergottes

The Kapelle zur Schmerzhaften Muttergottes features a single-hall construction with barrel vaulting and a pentagonal choir section on its southern side.

Built in 1488 and consecrated in 1492, the chapel stands on grounds that previously contained a Roman villa and an 8th-century Carolingian wooden chapel.

The chapel contains frescoes from 1765 by Johann Baptist Enderle and a high altar from 1692 with carved figures depicting the death of Mary.

Located on the Bavarian-Swabian Jacobean pilgrimage route between Achsheim and Eisenbrechtshofen, the chapel welcomes visitors throughout the year.

Recent restoration works in 2021 required an investment of 600,000 euros, with more than half funded by the Diocese of Augsburg.
