Herrgottskirche, Gothic pilgrimage church in Creglingen, Germany
The church stands one kilometer south of Creglingen in a valley, featuring limestone walls and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The Hohenlohe-Brauneck brothers established the church in 1389 after a farmer discovered a host while plowing a field in this location.
The central nave houses the Riemenschneider Altar, a carved wooden altarpiece depicting the Assumption of Mary through intricate medieval craftsmanship.
The church opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available through the Evangelical Parish Office of Creglingen, which provides information about admission fees.
Every August 25th, sunlight passes through the western rose window, illuminating the altar in a way that illustrates Mary's ascension to heaven.
