St. Mariä Himmelfahrt, Medieval pilgrimage church in Ginderich, Germany
The church features a preserved Romanesque west tower, while the choir and nave were reconstructed during the 14th century expansion project.
The church received official recognition in 1190 from Archbishop Anno II of Cologne, establishing it as the oldest Marian pilgrimage site on the Lower Rhine.
The interior contains a baptismal font from 1470-1480 and four late Gothic sculptures depicting saints, including James and Rochus of Montpellier.
The church hosts pilgrimage events from May to October, welcoming approximately 2,500 visitors who come to view the image of Mary, Queen of Peace.
In 2016, the church received a restored 19th-century English organ from Conacher workshop, installed by Orgelbau Schulte company.
