Creglingen, Medieval town in Main-Tauber-Kreis, Germany.
Creglingen is a small town in the Main-Tauber region that spreads across rolling countryside. The townscape centers on a Gothic church housing a monumental wooden altarpiece created by a master craftsman from the late medieval period.
The town received its charter from the Holy Roman Emperor in 1349, establishing it as a recognized settlement. Within decades, it became known as a pilgrimage destination following a religious event in the local church.
The town developed around a pilgrimage church that became an important spiritual destination for travelers from across the region. This role shaped how the town is organized and continues to influence how visitors experience it today.
The town is accessible by regional roads connecting to nearby cities and can be easily explored on foot. Accommodations and dining options are available throughout for visitors planning a longer stay.
A religious event in 1384 suddenly brought fame to the church and drew visitors from far and wide. This unexpected moment transformed the town from a quiet settlement into a recognized destination.
