Wallfahrtskirche Maria Hilf, Catholic pilgrimage church in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, Germany.

The church stands high above the city and features a round tower reaching 30 meters, surrounded by trees and monastery walls.

Construction of the church occurred between 1718 and 1727, replacing a wooden chapel that contained a copy of Lucas Cranach's famous Mary painting.

The interior displays Lombard artist Johann Bajerna's stucco work and houses a Baroque high altar designed by Johann Ulrich Wiest with the Virgin Mary image.

Visitors can reach the church by climbing 367 steps along the Kreuzweg or by taking the road through the Höhenberg district.

The church organ, built in 1977 by Mathis & Söhne, contains 14 registers across two manuals and pedals within a historical 1755 housing.
