Bergkirche Laudenbach, Catholic pilgrimage church in Laudenbach, Weikersheim, Germany
The Bergkirche Laudenbach stands on a forested hill, reached by climbing 252 steps along a designated path through the surrounding woodland.
Construction of the church began in 1412 under the initiative of the local nobles of Finsterlohe, with consecration by Bishop Johann III of Wurzburg in 1459.
The church houses medieval art treasures, including a sculpture group of the Three Kings created by students of Tilman Riemenschneider and a 1723 organ by Johann Seuffert.
The church opens daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with main pilgrimages occurring in May, September, and October, attracting over 14,000 visitors annually.
The alabaster tomb of Field Marshal Melchior von Hatzfeld, created in 1685 by Achilles Kern, represents a notable example of baroque funerary art.
