Bergkapelle, Gothic Revival church in Illingen, Germany.

The Bergkapelle features a sandstone cross at the main entrance and contains a collection of votive plaques from grateful pilgrims through generations.

The current Gothic Revival structure, built in 1901 by Wilhelm Hector, represents the fourth pilgrimage chapel on this site since the 16th century.

The chapel displays a significant Pietà sculpture in the altar area, created by Matthias Weyser from Blieskastel and documented since 1797.

A café opened in 2019 in the former caretaker's quarters, providing refreshments to visitors exploring the chapel and its surroundings.

Seven sandstone pillars along Gymnasialstraße depict the Seven Sorrows of Mary, forming a Stations of the Cross pathway to the chapel.
