Wallfahrtskirche Maria Bühel

Wallfahrtskirche Maria Bühel, Pilgrimage church on Maria Bühel hill in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria.

Wallfahrtskirche Maria Bühel stands on the broad Maria Bühel terrace northwest of Oberndorf. Its long nave with two onion-domed towers was built between 1670 and 1673 for visibility from afar; a transept, sacristy and stairway to the Kalvarienberg were added in 1718–1722. The marble portal is dated 1733 and bears the inscription "Maria, Zuflucht der Sünder".

The pilgrimage began with Salzach boatmen, who unloaded salt at Laufen; the dean Georg Paris Ciurletti had a copy of the Maria Hilf image placed on a wooden cross column.

The pilgrimage began with Salzach boatmen who unloaded salt at Laufen and were meant to pray instead of gossip; the dean Georg Paris Ciurletti had a "Maria Hilf" image set up by a wooden cross column. The feast is the Visitation of Mary on 31 May, formerly 2 July. The grace image is a 1662 copy, probably after Hans Holbein the Elder, painted by Maria Magdalena Zerheuter on a tin plate.

Visitors can reach the church via Maria-Bühel Street and enjoy a good view of the surrounding area from the hilltop. The location also allows for a walk to the nearby Europasteg bridge, which leads to Laufen in Bavaria.

River boats on the Salzach once stopped here to give thanks for safe passages. This old practice shows how important the place was for those traveling the water.
