Altötting, Religious pilgrimage destination in Bavaria, Germany
The Chapel of Grace stands at the center of Altötting's town square, featuring a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary dating from 1330.
The settlement originated as a royal palace during the Carolingian period, with King Carloman establishing a Benedictine monastery in 876.
The hearts of Bavarian kings rest in golden urns within the Chapel of Grace, maintaining a centuries-old tradition of royal preservation.
Visitors can reach Altötting through regular train connections from Munich, with the journey taking approximately two hours by regional services.
The Golden Horse, an altarpiece made of precious metals depicting Mary and Jesus, remains preserved in the Chapel's Treasury since medieval times.
